It has always been a special night for Lionel Messi when Argentina drew with Xavi Hernandez’s record of 767 of all time Barcelona and he celebrated it with a brilliant performance against Huesca.
Messi scored a breathtaking header, after a brilliant touch took the ball away from the defender and fired the ball into the back of the net from the crossbar. Then it was a solid victory in the 90th minute.
Messi tribute
The two strikes mean Messi has 21 goals this season and has now scored 13 or more goals for 13 consecutive seasons. In addition, he clearly takes himself in the race for the Pichichi Award.
Former teammate Luis Suarez is next with 18 LaLiga Santander goals, Gerard Moreno and Karim Benzema complete the podium with 15 goals each. Messi has been particularly lethal in the last ten games, in which he has scored 14 times.
