In the 2012/13 season, Lionel Messi missed 6 LaLiga games due to a hamstring injury, but still managed to score 46 goals from 32 games. However, it was a scintillating run starting from 11th November 2012 till 30th March 2013 which made the Argentinean a part of LaLiga history, yet again. Messi ended up scoring against every opponent in LaLiga during that period, a feat that was achieved by only two player before - Ronaldo in the 96/97 season and Cristiano Ronaldo in the 2011/12 season. However, Messi did something that was never done before; he achieved this feat consecutively.

The Argentinean started with a brace against Mallorca and went on to score a brace for the next 5 games as well. He continued to score in every game through the turn of the year and finished with 30 goals from 19 games! Unfortunately, his run ended with a hamstring injury, which saw him miss 3 games, but Messi had already achieved the unthinkable by then. He had become the first player to score consecutively against all 19 opponents in a season in the LaLiga. Interestingly, when he returned from injury, Messi got right back at it, scoring 3 goals from 3 games, before another hamstring injury meant that he missed the last 3 games of the season.
