Lionel Messi is one short of 500 career goals and the Barcelona forward is keen to reach that milestone against Real Madrid.
Barcelona star Lionel Messi says it would be a special moment to score his 500th career goal in Saturday's Clasico at Camp Nou.
The 28-year-old struck his 50th international goal from the penalty spot in Argentina's 2-0 World Cup qualifying victory over Bolivia on Tuesday.
That strike put Messi on 499 in his senior career and the five-time Ballon d'Or winner has set his sights on hitting his next milestone against fierce rival Real Madrid.
