10. Most La Liga Hat-Tricks in a Season:The Argentina international holds the record for most La Liga hat-tricks in one season with eight. Just let that sink in for a moment.

9. Champions League Top Scorer Four Years in a Row:Lionel Messi is the only player to ever finish as the Champions League or European Cup top scorer in four straight seasons.

8. Most Goals Scored for Argentina in One Year:After the calendar year had finished, Messi again put his name alongside the greats that wore the Argentina shirt. Lionel Messi joined Gabriel Batistuta as the players to score the most goals in one year having netted 12 times.

7. Most Goals Scored in El Clasico:Lionel Messi accomplished the remarkable task of tying Alfredo Di Stefano's record for most goals scored in El Clasico .Both players now sit with 18 goals in the always famous meeting. But even though Messi shares this record, it receives a higher rating because of the unfinished work

6. Most Goals Scored in a La Liga Season:erely one season after Cristiano Ronaldo broke the La Liga record for most goals scored in one season with 41, Lionel Messi shattered the mark by netting 50 times . 

5. Most Goals in a Club Season:The Argentine scored an unbelievable 73 goals across all competitions, which previously was a number thought to be beyond the realm of possibility. 

4. Barcelona's Top Goalscorer in Multiple Categories:To begin with, Lionel Messi is Barcelona's top scorer in all official competitions, with an astounding 308 goals. But the Argentine has not stopped there.Messi is also Barcelona's leading scoring in La Liga with 211 goals as well as the Champions League's with 58. The world's greatest player has also netted 63 times to lead the club with the most goals scored in international competitions.Aside from his mountainous amount of goals, Messi has also scored 16 hat-tricks in La Liga for Barcelona to hold the record, as well, at 22 hat-tricks overall.

3. Scoring in the Most Consecutive League Matches:One of Lionel Messi's most incredible records is being set as we speak. The Argentine recently scored a brace on the weekend to extend his tally to 18 straight games in which he has scored in La Liga.

2. Four-Time Winner of the FIFA Ballon D'Or:There remain no appropriate words to accurately describe how tremendous it was for Lionel Messi to win his fourth Ballon d'Or. The Argentine surpassed those who had been fortunate enough to win the award three times to truly cement his name among the greatest.

1. World Record for Most Goals Scored in One Year:Messi's 91 goal mark receives our top rating based on the fact that it may never be broken. If a player were to challenge Messi's incredible feat, the football world would all but stop in awe and wonder.
