Lionel Messi has added another record against his already legendary name.
The pint-sized football FC Barcelona talisman netted his 525th goal for the club, during their La Liga match against Villareal on Sunday, equalling former Bayern Munich forward Gerd Mueller's record of scoring most goals for one club.
A poor backpass from Victor Ruiz saw the ball go to Barca's Sergio Busquets, who played in Messi for the club record and his 14th league goal this campaign.
Earlier, Luis Suarez scored the opener, rounding goalkeeper Sergio Asenjo to complete a move of quick passes by Messi, Jordi Alba and substitute Paco Alcacer.
This is the second time that Messi has broken/matched a Mueller record.
In 2012, Messi had surpassed Mueller for most goals in a calendar year, breaking a 40-year record -- Messi had netted 86 goals back then.
