text: Ask most players about the hat-tricks they've scored and they'll describe in detail how they managed to find the back of the net three times in 90 minutes. But that doesn't apply to Lionel Messi. The Barcelona star has scored so many trebles at club level - 32 to be exact - that he can't remember each one despite keeping a match ball from every game. Messi will be hoping to add another to his list when Barca take on PSG in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final on Wednesday. Lionel Messi poses with each of the 32 balls he has taken home after scoring a hat-trick for Barcelona . Messi bends home his side's opening goal against Sevilla on Saturday during Barcelona's 2-2 draw . Speaking to Barcelona's official magazine ahead of the game, Messi revealed that  his hat-trick balls have a special place in his home even if he can't recall which games they're from. Asked about getting each one signed by his team-mates, the 27-year-old said: 'I always sign it because I believe it is recognition for the whole team. 'Without my team mates I would not have achieved all that I have on an individual level and I think that with a hat-trick, more than ever, because I depend on them to score goals, so it is a nice souvenir to have them all sign it. Messi celebrates after scoring against Sevilla - his 34th La Liga goal of the season so far . Messi will lead the line for Barcelona when they take on PSG in the Champions League on Wednesday evening . 'I keep them at home where I keep all my trophies, but I have thought about doing something special with them, something nice with all the footballs. 'At the moment I have them in glass cases but I am thinking about doing something so that they have a more special place.' Having netted 277 La Liga goals for Barcelona over the last 10-and-a-half years, it's little surprise that Messi has some trouble remembering the 96 which arrived in just 32 matches. Asked if he can recall all of his hat-tricks for the club, Messi said: 'Right now, as we speak, no. I need to see the goals again or for somebody to tell me something about them to actually remember them.' Messi celebrates after scoring the second goal of his hat-trick against Real Madrid in March 2007 . Less surprising is the one that stands out to him. 'The one I scored against Real Madrid when we drew 3-3 at Camp Nou was very special for me, for what it meant in the game and because for me it was my first hat-trick and it kept us ahead in the league,' said Messi. 'Even though at the end we didn’t win the league, at that moment it was important and also because it was against Real Madrid.'
