While we didn’t expect Lionel Messi’s career at Barcelona to end just yet, it’s still crazy to marvel at what he was able to accomplish with the club.

During his time with Barca, Messi had 672 goals, 268 assists, and 34 major titles.

Whoever ends up signing Lionel Messi will be getting the GOAT, and it’s bound to be the biggest sports story over the next few weeks.
