We're celebrating Lionel Messi's 35th birthday by taking a look back at certain aspects of his incredible career to date.

When it comes to the Ballon d'Or, Messi was the second-oldest player ever to win the award in 2021 aged (34 years, 158 days) and tops the all-time table with seven gongs to his name. Ronaldo is his closest rival (5) on that front in much the same way he trails Messi in the all-time list of European Golden Shoe wins (6 vs. That said, Sir Stanley Matthews was 41 years and 320 days old when he won the inaugural Ballon d'Or in 1956, so perhaps there is still time after all! Iran's Ali Daei (109) is the only other male player to break 100. Messi has also outperformed himself in goals scored per 90 mins (0.76 for Argentina; 0.64 for PSG), shots attempted (4.6 vs. This level is broadly consistent with his average assist rate (20 in all comps) over the course of his nine prior club seasons at Camp Nou. With most professional footballers retiring in their mid-30s, it's understandable that productivity generally begins to tail off around that point. It's more than likely that Qatar 2022 represents his last chance to right that particular wrong. Indeed, he has been putting up better stats per 90 minutes for Argentina right across the board. In all competitions, Messi has 787 goals and is only 13 shy of joining Ronaldo (821) as the only two players in history to have scored 800 or more goals in official matches. Messi has collected two significant honours with his country (2021 Copa America, 2022 Finalissima) in just 1,769 minutes of football, compared to one honour (2021-22 Ligue 1 title) in the 5,489 minutes he spent on the field for PSG last season. Messi is also entering the final 12 months of his contract with Paris Saint-Germain (though the club have the option of adding another year) in what could prove to be a significant period as he starts to wind down his career.
