Lionel Messi's haul of trophies just keeps growing. This time, having beaten Telmo Zarra's record, tribute was paid to Leo Messi by the Liga de Fútbol Profesional with a trophy in recognition of him being the top goal-scorer in the history of La Liga.
The LFP has paid tribute to Messi for reaching the 253-goal mark in November last year, with the three he scored in the Sánchez Pizjuán; the hat-trick took him past Zarra's haul of 251, the previous record for the most goals scored in the Liga, which had stood since 1955.
The Camp Nou was the scene of latest achievement from the Argentinian, who has recorded countless individual records as a La Liga player:
- Three times top goal-scorer in the Liga BBVA (2010, 2012, 2013)
- Top goal-scorer in one Liga BBVA season (50 goals, 11/12 season)
- First player to score against every team in one La Liga season in consecutive matches (30 goals between matchday 11 and 29 in 2012/13)
- Scored the 5,000th goal of FC Barcelona's history (Racing Club - FC Barcelona, February 2009)
