Lionel Messi caps 256 La Liga
goals in 291 appearances following Barca's 5-1 defeat over Espanyol this
weekend. Garcia's opening goal set the Barcelona in a slight frenzy that was
contained with Messi's two successive goals in 45th- and 50th minutes
respectively. Gerard Pique headed in the third at 53th minute and Pedro drowned
the Espanyol side with a 77th minute fourth goal. Messi heightened their opponent's
ill-luck with a 81th minute goal. The victory saw Barcelona climb to second
place behind first-placed Real Madrid. Messi stays 2 goals behind Real Madrid
rival Cristiano Ronaldo's 23rd La Liga goals.
