Lionel Messi has scored 4.39 per cent of all Barcelona goals in history - he averages almost one in 20 of their strikes since 1899
Break down his 301 goals in La Liga and he's scored 240 with the left foot, 48 with the right, 12 with the head and one other – believed to be his Diego Maradona-esque Hand of God goal against Espanyol in June 2007.
Messi has 172 goals at the Nou Camp but 129 away. Dani Alves has helped him the most with 26 assists, while Atletico Madrid are his favourite opponents with 21 goals against them.
Most telling, though, is when he gets his goals. Messi never gives up, scoring almost twice as much in the last 15 minutes as he does in any other time-frame.
Of his 301 goals, 83 were scored between 76 and 90 minutes. Compare that to the others – 0-15 minutes (32 goals), 16-30 (48), 31-45 (44), 46-60 (47), 61-75 (47) – and it’s remarkable how relentless he is.
There has been talk this week about whether Messi’s two-person penalty with Suarez against Celta Vigo was disrespectful, as if he did it only to embarrass and not to entertain.
