Messi also scored in Barca’s victory, and one hopes we can enjoy a few more moments of magic from him in the weeks ahead as a number of leagues around the world desperately try to complete their seasons.
The Argentine maestro’s goal also helped create this special piece of history in the Spanish top flight…
On his return last night, Lionel Messi became the first ever La Liga player to score 20+ goals in 12 consecutive seasons.
