Messi edges closer to Pele’s historic goalscoring record: hat-trick against Atletico needed

• Leo Messi needs a hat-trick against Atletico Madrid tonight to level with Pele on goals scored for a single club.
• The Brazilian great holds the all-time record with 643 goals but the Argentine is just 3 goals behind him.
• Leo has already scored 3 hat-tricks against the Rojiblancos who happen to be his second favourite opponents.
• In case Messi doesn’t get the needed number of goals tonight, he’ll have another chance to beat Pele’s record with the games against Dynamo Kyiv and Osasuna scheduled for the next week.
