Lionel Messi has become the player with the most wins in the history of La Liga beating Iker Casillas's record with 335 wins. Also, his goal against Atletico meant that he has now scored in six consecutive games for the Blaugrana.

The 31-year-old was absolutely brilliant on the day and he was pulling all the strings for Barcelona in attack. His stunning defense-splitting pass to Alba in the opening minutes nearly led to a goal and he was consistently testing Oblak throughout the match .

His goal also was a typical effort from him after he took the ball on the right side in space, surged into the box, beat some defenders and calmly slot it into the bottom corner. The Argentine is in surreal form right now and showcasing why he is the best in the world every week.
