Unbelievable records of Lionel Messi from 2017 to 2018

Messi scored from the spot as Barcelona lost the Supercopa de Espaa first leg 1-3 at home to Real Madrid to kick off the 2017–18 campaign.

Messi increased his El Clásico goal total to 25, making it his 25th overall and 24th official goal.

On September 9 against Espanyol in Derbi Barcelona, Messi recorded his first hat-trick of the 2017–18 league season, assisting the Blaugrana in a 5-0 home triumph against their neighbours.

On September 12, Barça overcame the Italian champions Juventus 3-0 at home in the UEFA Champions League thanks to two goals from Messi against Gianluigi Buffon.

Messi helped Barça defeat Las Palmas 3-0 in his 594th official match for the team.

The league match was played at the Camp Nou behind closed doors due to unrest in Catalonia related to an ongoing independence referendum.

Messi scored his 100th goal overall in UEFA club competitions and his 97th in the UEFA Champions League on October 18 during his 122nd appearance for a European club against Olympiacos.

Cristiano Ronaldo was the first player to reach this century mark before Messi, who did so in 21 less games than the Portuguese great.
