Not only is Lionel Messi Barcelona's all-time top scorer by a considerable distance, the Argentine has scored more goals than the club's second, third and fourth top scorers.
The six-time Ballon d'Or winner scored his 614th goal for the club when he popped up with a dramatic late winner against Atletico Madrid.
And in scoring that huge goal that took Barca to the top of the league, Messi now has more goals than the next three of the Blaugrana's top scorers all together.
The total of Spain legend Cesar, Hungarian László Kubala and Messi's teammate Luis Suarez comes to 613, one behind Barcelona's greatest ever players.
It's just yet another silly record Messi holds. His goal against Atleti at the weekend was so good that even opposite manager Diego Simeone couldn't help but applaud his compatriot's stunning bit of play.
He went from frustration to praise in a matter of seconds, such was the magic that Messi conjured up.
"Because with a great goal like that, all you can do is applaud," Simeone said, as per the Evening Standard.

"The move, when the counter-attack started, had the smell of great danger. He scored a 'golazo'."
"Barca handle that situation very well. And they scored a 'golazo'. When [Luis] Suarez and Messi are in a dangerous situation, they rarely fail."
