While Barcelona thrashed Las Palmas 5-0 in their La Liga game on Saturday, it was another fine outing for the little maestro, Lionel Messi.

Luis Suarez scored two goals, Messi scored one, Arda Turan got on the scoresheet and full-back Aleix Vidal chipped in too, but it was the Argentine superstar who achieved yet another astonishing feat.

Messi now has scored a goal against every current team in La Liga.

Las Palmas were the only remaining team in the Spanish top flight that Messi had not found the back of the net against.

But he now has a goal against 35 Spanish teams and is level with Real Madrid legend Raul in that context.

Interestingly, Messi’s favorite opposition are Atletico Madrid and Sevilla – he has hit 21 goals against both clubs.

Meanwhile, Barcelona’s next challenge will be a meeting with Real Sociedad in the Copa del Rey quarter-final, the first-leg of which will be held at the Anoeta on January 19.
