Barcelona coach Martino: Messi not yet at 100% fitness

Barcelona coach Tata Martino says Lionel Messi is not yet at his peak after his brace in victory over Rayo Vallecano.

Messi moved into joint third place in the all-time Primera Division scoring charts.

"I'd like to think that Messi still has a bit to go before he's 100 percent fit. If he wants, he'll break any record he sets his mind to. He's only 26 years old and he'll lose count [of the records he breaks]. Barça enjoy him and Argentina does as well," said Martino.
