*Messi equals 39-year Muller
record with 365th Barcelona Liga goal*
Lionel Messi has equalled Gerd
Muller's long-standing scoring record with his 365th Liga goal for Barcelona.
Messi played a one-two with chief
partner in crime Jordi Alba and finished with a volley to put his side 1-0 up
on the way to a convincing 3-0 victory.
And, in doing so, La Pulga drew
level with the ex-Bayern and Germany superstar to match a record which has
stood for 39 years.
He has now scored 365 times for
the Blaugrana in 400 La Liga games, levelling Muller's historic mark achieved
with a single club in one of Europe's top five leagues.
That record could fall as soon as
next Sunday, when Barca visit Real Sociedad.
Messi had already smashed one of
Muller's previous milestones in December, scoring his 526th goal for Barca in
all competitions against Real Madrid to overtake the German's tally for a
single club.
