OMG: See the Record Lionel Messi set after Barcelona trash Huesca
The Argentinian reached
another milestone in the Spanish domestic league with his exploits against
Huesca.
Barcelona skipper Lionel Messi added
yet another record to his tall list of landmarks in his side's easy cruise
against Huesca. The 30-year-old forward's side started off on the wrong foot
but bounced back to grab a win that propelled them to the top of La Liga.
Colombian forward Cucho Hernandez
nearly instigated an upset for the visitors by grabbing a goal inside the third
minute. Barcelona, however, was spared the blushed after Lionel Messi restored
parity 13 minutes later.
The Blaugrana No. 10 added his second
goal – his side's sixth of the day - after an own-goal by Jorge Pulido and
respective strikes by Luis Suarez, Ousmane Dembele, and Ivan Rakitic. Alex
Gallar grabbed another consolation for Huesca in the mix of affairs before
Jordi Alba and Luis Suarez put the host out of reach.
With Lionel Messi providing the pass
for Rakitic's goal, the striker took his overall assist tally in La Liga to
150, becoming the first-ever player in the history of the league to reach the
milestone.
150 - Lionel Messi has become the first player to reach 150 assists in La
Liga in the 21st century. Magic.

His
first-half goal against Leo Franco's side also meant that he has now scored
against 37 out of the 40 teams he's played against in the Spanish domestic
league. The feat is the most achieved by any player since the inception of the
league.
Huesca, on
the other hand, finished the day's game with a little accomplishment to take
home. In the build-up to Cucho Hernandez's goal, the team struck together 19
passes - the most by any team in a La Liga game against Barcelona at Camp Nou
since at least 2005/06
