Another day, another milestone, another hat-trick for Lionel Messi.

Already an all-time great only at the age of 27, Messi put his name in the all-time La Liga record books with his 252nd La Liga goal.With Barcelona’s fourth goal (and Messi’s second of the night), he became the top scorer in Spain’s top flight.

Messi has surpassed Telmo Zarra’s 251 goals from 1940-1955.

Great game and 3 very important points!!!! CONGRATULATIONS Leo, you keep on making history!! pic.twitter.com/6ClySCqrYs
