Madrid (B2B) - Lionel Messi memperpanjang rekor mencetak gol selama lima bulan dalam 19 laga berturut-turut, untuk menjadi pemain pertama yang mencetak gol dalam pertandingan berturut-turut melawan setiap tim lain divisi utama Spanyol.
Pemain asal Argentina ini mencetak gol di laga yang berakhir seri 2-2 saat laga dengan Celta Vigo, dengan catatan 43 gol musim ini, dengan sembilan pertandingan tersisa di musim ini.
Messi kini telah mencetak 30 gol dalam 19 pertandingan terakhir, seperti dilansir Mail Online!.
Setara dengan setengah musim, ia telah melewati banyak laga dan menggetarkan jaring seluruh lawannya.
Namun pada 3 November tahun lalu, ia terakhir gagal mencetak gol - di kandang Celta Vigo - permainan berlangsung kurang dari 24 jam setelah pasangannya, Antonella Ruccuzzo, melahirkan putra mereka, Thiago.
Messi bermain 90 menit dalam kemenangan 3-1 malam itu, tapi tidak ada target khusus yang didedikasikan bagi bayi yang baru lahir. Setelah itu Messi seakan tak terhentikan.
Pada delapan laga ia rata-rata mencetak dua gol dan menang 5-1 atas Osasuna pada akhir Januari, Messi mencetak empat gol.
Madrid - Lionel Messi extended his five-month scoring run to 19 games to became the first player ever to score in consecutive matches against every other team in the division.
The Argentine scored in Barcelona´s 2-2 draw with Celta Vigo to take his La Liga tally to 43 for this season with nine games left of the campaign.
Messi has now scored 30 goals in the last 19 matches.
In the equivalent of an entire half-season, he has delivered match after match, scoring against all opponents.
It was on November 3 last year that he last failed to score - at home to Celta Vigo - a game played less than 24 hours after his partner, Antonella Ruccuzzo, had given birth to their son, Thiago.
Messi played 90 minutes in the 3-1 victory that night, but there was to be no special goal dedicated to the new born. He has made up for it since.
On eight occasions he has scored twice and in a 5-1 win over Osasuna at the end of January he scored four.
