The scary
thing is that Lionel Messi still has years to go. At just 27 years old,
he became the all-time top scorer in Spanish football history, scoring a
brilliant hat-trick to cement his place in the record books above Telmo
Zarra.
Messi
began the game on 250 goals, one behind the former Athletic Bilbao
striker. He ended it on 253, putting paid to the last few weeks of
wondering just how and when he would eventually become, inarguably, the
greatest goalscorer La Liga has ever known.
Of
course, Messi is so much more than a goalscorer. Sevilla found that out
the hard way on Saturday night, with the Argentine the heartbeat of a
Barcelona side which didn’t trip up in a potentially tricky clash
against Unai Emery’s high-flying Andalusians, moving back to second
place, two points behind Real Madrid.
