Legendary footballer  Lionel Messi already holds the record for all-time scorer for Barcelona and the most decorated player and, on Monday, he will equal club great Xavi Hernandez's record for the most appearances for the Catalan club. On Monday, Lionel Messi is set to complete the triple crown of most prestigious Barcelona records when he steps out for the La Liga club against lower-ranked Huesca at home on Monday.

For your information let us share that Messi will join former midfielder Xavi on 767 matches in all competitions should he take the field against Huesca at the Camp Nou and then move clear as Barca's record appearance maker when his side visit Real Sociedad next Sunday. Here it is to be noted that the appearance record is one of the few milestones that Messi was yet to achieve in a decorated career with Barcelona for whom he made his debut in 2004. Even as speculation is rife that Messi would make his way out of Barcelona after his contract expires at the end of the season, the 33-year-old continues to set new records at Camp Nou.

However Messi had surpassed Cesar as their all-time top scorer in 2012 and to date has 659 goals for the club, while he overtook Andres Iniesta as Barcelona's most decorated player in August 2018 and has gone on to lift 34 trophies with the team.  The 33-year-old Messi also holds Barca's records for most assists (289), most hat-tricks (48) and most goals in a single-season, a jaw-dropping 73 in the 2011-12 campaign.
