The two incredible milestones Lionel Messi will reach today with FC Barcelona
The Argentinian will set not one, but two records in the match he is playing against Huesca.
After Ronald Koeman said some days ago that FC Barcelona cannot afford to lose more points, And today will the Cules will have a chance of coming closer to the UEFA Champions League spots, facing the worst team of the league, that will be motivated to escape from the relegation zone, and Lionel Messi will be back from an injury for a special match.
The Argentinian is so good that he seems to be breaking a new record every match. And actually, that is not too far from the truth. Because the Argentinian will reach two marks today in the La Liga away match versus Huesca, both related of the long time service he did for his club.
Today, Messi will reach 500 La Liga matches, becoming the 12th player ever who plays that amount. FC Barcelona made a post on social media congratulating him on it. The other milestone is that this will be his 750th match with the club, coming very close to the record Xavi Hernandez established, with 767 games.
If the Ronald Koeman side takes the three points today, it will be only one point behind Villarreal, the last qualified team for Champions League. The competition for those spots is very close, with Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid going far ahead and leaving the last two places to be disputed between Real Sociedad, Villarreal, Sevilla and of course, FC Barcelona.
