Apart from his goals, passes and fantastic dribbles, the forward is a true record-breaker and winner. At the age of 30, he has played 701 official matches, scoring 565 goals and lifting 30 titles. The same amount of trophies as the years he celebrates today.
The numbers add up between Barcelona and Argentina, though all the celebrations have come with the Catalan side. The number '10' is the most important player in the club's history. A legend at the Camp Nou.
Messi reaches 30 as a father of two and recently wedded. The Argentine is mature enough to lead a project of success.
The footballer with most Ballon d'Ors, though Ronaldo will surely level with him in a few months. Messi hopes to triumph in Spain and Europe with Ernesto Valverde in charge.
Eight La Liga titles, four Champions Leagues, five Spanish cups, seven Spanish Supercopas, three European Supercups and three Club World Cups.
Messi could equal his former teammate Maxwell's feat of retiring with 37 trophies. If he surpasses that number, Lionel Messi would become the player with most titles in the history of world football. Another record broken.
