It's fair to say that, when it comes to putting the ball in the back of the net, Lionel Messi isn't too bad at it. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner has scored 28 times in 34 appearances for club and country this season and has broke almost every goal scoring record there is to break, during his career.

In fact, Messi became the first La Liga player to score 25+ goals in 10 consecutive seasons on Sunday when he bagged twice against Real Betis.


The 30-year-old has netted six goals in his last six games for Barcelona and has produced the goods once again this week after he appeared on a Japanese Game Show.

Messi was given 100 seconds to knock over all 20 panels and of course, the little Argentine completed the challenge in an impressive 82 seconds as contestants shouted their encouragement.

Messi made his debut in La Liga 14 years ago and football has never been the same since.

Messi took to the field for Barcelona in a friendly against Jose Mourinho's Porto side, aged 16 years, four months, and 23 days old, on 16 November 2003, and he was already turning out for the Barcelona 'B' team in no time.

Is Lionel Messi the greatest of all time?
