VIDEO: All 253 of Lionel Messi's goals in La Liga

Lionel Messi established himself as the greatest scorer in La Liga history on Saturday, netting a hat trick against Sevilla and surpassing Athletic Bilbao legend Telmo Zarra atop the all-time list - his three goals would bring him to 253 (and counting).

We could spend time trying to find the right superlatives to describe the Barcelona superstar. But that would be futile. It's much more apt to simply accept that the elfish Argentine is beyond anything the dictionary can offer, and instead just sit back and watch how he became the most prolific player Spain has ever seen.

Simply the best that La Liga has ever produced.
