Despite the turmoil last summer, Lionel Messi is on the verge of becoming the most-game player for Barcelona.

Lionel Messi is on the hunt for the most appearances for FC Barcelona that Xavi Hernandez has so far. The former professional played a total of 767 competitive games for Blaugrana between 1998 and 2015, including 505 times in LaLiga.
Messi is only 18 games away from breaking the all-time record – and six to break the league top mark. At the weekend, the superstar completed his 750th competitive game for Blaugrana and his 500th LaLiga game in Huesca.
Messi still has a long way to go to reach the biggest milestone in Spanish league football. Andoni Zubizarreta has had the most missions there with 622. Xavi’s internal record should fall in the next few weeks.
