One more game, one more record for Lionel Messi.
After 24 days away from the pitch, "La Pulga" made an impressive comeback in just two minutes, as he put to good use an assist by Neymar to score the game's fourth goal. By sending that ball into the back of the net, Messi achieved another milestone in his illustrious career.
