The Argentinean ace saved Barcelona's unbeaten run with a late goal, but their lead at the top of La Liga has been cut short.

After this Saturday, Barcelona's unbeaten season in La Liga can almost be assured. If they can overcome a two-goal deficit in less than one minute, it seems like there will be no team capable of beating them in the Spanish top flight.

Nevertheless, Los Blaugranas must still be careful, since a series of draws could find their title chances in jeopardy. This week, Valverde's team saw their lead cut short to a one-digit advantage over Atlético, as Los Colchoneros defeated Deportivo and kept their second place intact.

Here's how the league's standings look like after 30 matches for each team.

Speaking about the Pichichi race, Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez made the most out of Cristiano Ronaldo's absence against Las Palmas. The Uruguayan matched CR7's tally at second place, while Messi extended his lead to four goals.

We all know that Lionel Messi owns quite a laureated resume,and even if he only played 32 minutes on Saturday's clash against Sevilla, he managed to unlock one more milestone in La Liga. Will there be an end to his record-breaking run?
