Lionel Messi has a chance of equalling Barcelona's all-time goal tally of 232 when the Spanish outfit take on Granada tonight.

Lionel Messi is just one goal away from meeting Barcelona's all-time goal record of 232, courtesy of Cesar Rodriguez.

The Argentina international can equal the tally, which was revised from 235, when the Spanish giants host Granada this evening at the Nou Camp.

Barca released a statement on their website, which said: "After studying all of César's matches, it has been confirmed that Messi is only one goal behind.

"It's worth noting that Cesar Rodríguez is the club's all-time top goalscorer in official matches, but the absolute record belongs to Paulino Alcantara, who scored 369 goals in 357 official and friendly matches."

The 24-year-old Ballon d'Or winner already has 51 goals to his name this season.
