LIONEL Messi has broken Barcelona's 60-year-old goal-scoring record with a hat-trick in a 5-3 win over Granada at the Nou Camp in La Liga on Tuesday.
Messi equalled the record with a volley off a post in the 17th minute and broke the record with a lob over the goalkeeper in the 68th minute.
The Argentine's third goal came four minutes from time when he rounded the keeper after a pass from Dani Alves.
His record target was revised down to 232 from 235 after a newspaper study.
Barcelona's Centre of Documentation and Studies and La Vanguardia newspaper conducted joint research to verify the scoring record of previous record-holder Cesar Rodriguez in the 1950s.
The study showed he had scored three goals fewer than was previously thought.
Messi, the 24-year-old World Player of the Year, who is in his eighth season with Barca, has now scored 54 goalsin all competitions this season.
He is also now the top-scorer in La Liga this season with34 goals from 27 games, two ahead of Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo. Athletico Madrid's Falcao is third with 17 goals.
"We have to congratulate Messi, he has scored so many goals and is only 24, he does not just score ordinary goals but great goals and we hope he gets lots more for us, we can compare him perhaps the Michael Jordan [American basketball legend] of football," said Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola.
"There are no players capable of dominating a sport withsuch superiority. In every sport there has existed only one player that can be considered as somebody unique. And this is the case. Yes, Messi can be compared to Michael Jordan."
