Barcelona star Messi earns another scoring record

Barcelona star Lionel Messi again made history but his goal was not enough to earn his team a win as they drew 2-2 with relegation-threatened Celta Vigo.

The Argentina international is no stranger to treading new ground and his 73rd-minute goal on Saturday night meant he has scored in 19 successive Primera Division matches.

In doing so he has found the net against every other side in the competition - the first player to ever do that in consecutive matches - and he has 29 goals from his last 19.

Saturday night's would not be the winner, though, with Borja Oubina's late header earning Celta a point, with Naxto Insa's opener having been earlier scrubbed out by Cristian Tello's goal.
