Lionel Messi's goal-scoring record which dates all the way back to 2010 is just ridiculous.

A friendly reminder that this lad came FIFTH in the Ballon d'Or voting... LOL.

Messi continued his incredible form in front of goal by netting a stunning hat-trick against Levante in La Liga, bagging his 14th league goal of the season.

He's created 10 goals, too, for good measure.

The Argentine maestro is the first player to have scored 50 goals across all competitions for club and country in 2018.

What's more, he's now scored 50+ goals in EIGHT of the last NINE years in a truly unbelievable feat.

An insane statistic for the GOAT.

Messi failed to hit the half-century mark of goals in 2013, where he 'only' scored 45 goals.

But, a year before, he smashed in an absurd 91 (!!) goals.

Messi has just one more fixture to add to his tally in the shape of a league fixture versus Celta Vigo on Saturday.
