Lionel Messi just keeps racking up the personal milestones.
Barcelona's talisman scored his 500th goal with the Blaugrana on Sunday, the little Argentine once again punishing Sevilla - as he has done so many times in his illustrious career - by finishing off a blistering move that involved some typically intricate footwork from Neymar.

The 43rd-minute tally restored parity in the contest at one apiece heading into the interval, despite Barcelona being thoroughly outplayed. That's the magic of Messi.
