Pele .. Messi's next goal
The Argentine star Lionel Messi has not yet finished his record with Barcelona, who has been around 40 since joining the team 14 years ago, but there are still a lot of figures left.
After defeating the legendary German star Gerd Mueller, the 31-year-old Messi has sought to remove Brazilian football legend Pele from the throne of the player who scored the most goals with one team.
Pele scored 643 goals throughout his career with Brazil's Santos between 1956-1974, and won 48 titles.
Messi's current record with Barcelona has 566 goals, meaning that he is only 88 points away from the record. Messi can reach that number if he remains in Barcelona and has not left him at any other club.
Messi managed to surpass the second-placed Muller after Pele, who scored 565 goals for Bayern Munich between 1964-1979.
Messi scored his number during the Barcelona match against Real Betis in the Spanish league on Sunday, scoring two goals.
It is impossible for Portuguese football star Cristiano Ronaldo to take on Messi, who left Real last summer for Juventus.
Ronaldo scored 450 goals with Ronaldo, and it seems impossible to score a similar number with the "old lady" at the age of 33.
