FC Barcelona attacker Lionel Messi took advantage of the occasion of his 200th Liga match to score four goals against Valencia in the Camp Nou on Sunday. In single-handedly demolishing his opponents, Messi became the first player in the Liga this season to score four times in a single game. He also matches a scoring performance unseen by a Barcelona player since Samuel Eto’o scored four way back in November of 2008.
To put Messi’s amazing scoring run into perspective, consider this: he has now scored more goals [27] by himself than half of the teams in the Spanish Liga. And at only 24, he stands on the threshold of becoming Barcelona’s alltime top scorer: 14 more strikes and he will surpass Cesar’s total of 235.
