Messi joined Barcelona's academy at 13 and made his first-team debut at 17. Over 17 senior seasons he scored 672 goals — more than any other player has scored for a single club in football history — and lifted 10 La Liga titles plus 4 Champions Leagues.
Single-season records still standing from that era: 73 goals in 2011/12 (all competitions) and 50 La Liga goals in 2011/12.
Two seasons at PSG yielded a Ligue 1 title and his seventh and eighth Ballons d'Or. The move to Inter Miami in 2023 brought a Leagues Cup and Supporters' Shield, and turned MLS into a globally watched competition almost overnight.
With Argentina: Copa América 2021, the 2022 World Cup, the 2022 Finalissima, and Copa América 2024 — four major trophies in four years after a decade of near-misses.
850+ career goals across club and country.
8 — the all-time record.
