Messi in line for Barcelona game No400

Lionel Messi is in line for his 400th game for Barcelona in tonight's Copa del Rey tie with Levante.

The Argentina forward, who has scored 331 goals in his 399 appearances so far, was included in Tata Martino's 18-man squad for the cup clash.

Messi, four-times winner of the Ballon d'Or, has come a long way since making his debut for the Primera Division leaders in 2004 aged 17 years.

The 26-year-old striker, who has never been sent off, posted his best scoring record in the 2011-12 season when he notched 73 goals in 60 games for the Spanish champions.
