The Barcelona skipper will play his 700th game against Dortmund

Barcelona's clash with Borussia Dortmund will be special for FC Barcelona captain Lionel Messi. It will be his 700th game for Barcelona, with 140 of those coming in the Champions League.

Messi needs a double to hit another 700 - goals for club and country. He has 612 for Barca and 86 with Argentina across all levels. Also if Messi beats Dortmund he will have triumphed against 78 sides - of the 87 he has faced, and beaten 154 goalkeepers.

The Barcelona No 10 is catching up Xavi's 767 game club record.
