Lionel Messi turns 28 years old today. Messi has scored 412 goals for Barcelona in 482 games, 180 more goals than any other player in Barcelona history, having broken the club record back in March 2012. Messi is 52 goals shy of doubling Cesar Rodriguez‘s previous club record.

The Argentine holds career scoring records in La Liga (286), UEFA Champions League (77) and the Spanish Super Cup (10).

Lionel Andrés “Leo” Messi Cuccittini popularly called Messi is often compared with past soccer legends Diego Maradona and Pele. The Barcelona  has won 24 club titles, which is nine more than what Maradona and Pele had combined to win at 28.

While Messi does surpass their accomplishments in club competitions, he has yet to match their success with his national team. At 28, Maradona and Pele (twice) had already won the World Cup, a trophy that has eluded Messi.

Colombia midfielder, James Rodriguez praises Argentina star Lionel Messi as they get ready for their Copa America quarterfinal match.
