Lionel Messi Reaches New Milestone As Barcelona Decimate Leganese

Six times Ballon D’or winner, Lionel Messi has become the first player in Spanish football history to win 500matches following Barcelona’s five-nil win over Leganese during their Copa Del Ray clash on Thursday.

Also, the Argentine International capped off his impressive performance with a brace and an assist.

The diminutive attacker enjoyed his showing during the clash as he was given a free role by a new coach, Setien.

He then primarily operated from the right-wing and drifted infield on occasions to cause damages to their opponents.
