Messi's challenges against Cádiz

Leo Messi continues accumulating records and records in every game he plays. Against Cádiz he could add two more to his already heavy bag: that of the FC Barcelona player with the most games in the history of the League and that of the most teams beaten in this competition.

If you play this Sunday, Messi will reach the figure of 506 games in the League, thus surpassing Xavi Hernández, with 505, and becoming the player in the history of the club that has played the most games with the elastic Blaugrana. Still a long way from the absolute record in the League held by former goalkeeper Andoni Zubizarreta, with 622.

Y if he also scores, he will reach a new record, since no one in the League has been able to score 38 different teams in this competition. For now, Leo has 37, since he has not yet been able to mark Cádiz on the two occasions he has played against them. Now at the Camp Nou, he will have the third time to beat the Cadiz team.

Besides Messi, Sergio Busquets also has an important challenge ahead against Cádiz, since if he plays, he will reach the round figure of 400 games in the League, ranking fourth in the Blaugrana table with the most matches, only surpassed by Messi, Xavi and Iniesta.

The team comes to this match after a streak of 12 matches without losing in this competition, the last seven also with victory, adding a total of 32 points out of 36 possible. In fact, the last team that was able to beat Koeman's men in LaLiga was Cádiz (2-1) on December 5.
