Barcelona's Lionel Messi broke Telmo Zarra's all-time La Liga
goal-scoring record of 251 goals with a hat trick in the 5-1 win
over Sevilla on Saturday.
Messi opened the scoring on 21 minutes to equal Zarra's feat
before netting again on 72 minutes to make it 252 Liga goals in
289 appearances and take him beyond the former Athletic
Bilbao forward.
The key goal was a sliding tap in with his right foot from
Neymar's cross and Messi, 27, was subsequently congratulated
by his teammates and the crowd.

The Argentina international then completed his hat trick with
12 minutes remaining, meaning his total now stands at 253
Liga strikes.
Barcelona's 5-1 win against Sevilla took them back to within
two points of Liga leaders Real Madrid, who beat Eibar 4-0
earlier in the day.
This was Messi's first goal ever in @LaLiga Do you remember
it? https://t.co/u9LOxcaPZv #Messi253 #FCBLive
