Barcelona star Lionel Messi did something no other La Liga player has ever done

Barcelona star Lionel Messi made historical past once more on Saturday by doing one thing no La Liga participant has ever accomplished in a season. The Argentine expertise reached the mark of 20 objectives and 20 assists on the season within the group’s match with Actual Valladolid by helping Arturo Vidal’s aim quarter-hour in. No person has ever accomplished it — not Cristiano Ronaldo, Diego Maradona, Zinedine Zidane or any of the world-class gamers who’ve graced the Spanish league.

Right here is the second:

A typical Messi help of splitting gamers and organising a teammate with a golden shot. It is a high-quality hit from Vidal, however Messi’s imaginative and prescient made that one occur.

It is fairly an absurd statistic when you concentrate on it actually. A 20-goal season for a participant is improbable. Equally, a 20-assist season is uncommon and has solely occurred as soon as. Messi’s former Barca teammate, Xavi, did it 11 years in the past. He completed the season with 20, so Messi is anticipated to interrupt it. To achieve 20 of every in a season is simply out of this world, fairly like Messi. 

He is been, as ordinary, Barca’s prime participant for nicely over a decade now and has his facet within the thick of the title battle. Barca must win this recreation to maneuver again inside some extent of Actual Madrid, who entered the day main by 4 factors.
