8 records Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have broken so far this season

#3 First player to score against 37 out of the 40 opponents faced in LaLiga (Messi)

A feat not achieved by any player before him

Lionel Messi has put his name in the books of LaLiga by becoming the first player to score against 37 out of the 40 different opponents in the league.

The Argentine set the record on September 2 when Barcelona faced newcomers Huesca. The game saw the Catalan giants thrashing their opponents 8-2.

Moments of individual brilliance from Messi resulted in 2 goals and 2 assists for the Argentine.

The goals saw the Barcelona talisman netting against his 37th LaLiga career opponents, a feat not achieved by any player before him.

#4 Player with the most prolific start for Juventus in 60 years (Ronaldo)

Despite his slow start in Serie A, Ronaldo was quick at adapting to life with Juventus, as he is now breaking records at the club.

Following his brace during his side's 1-2 win at Empoli over the weekend, the Portuguese became the player with the best goal-scoring start for Juventus, with 7 goals in 10 Serie A appearances for the club.

The only player to have scored the same number of goals in 10 games was Welsh striker John Charles in the 1957-58 season.

In equaling the 61-year-old record, Ronaldo has beaten players like Gonzalo Higuaín, Carlos Tévez and Filippo Inzaghi, who all scored 6 goals in their first 10 Serie A fixtures.
