Lionel Messi equals Telmo Zarra's record with 251st La Liga goal

Telmo Zarra has some company.

Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi now stands alongside the Athletic Bilbao legend at the top of the mountain, scoring his 251st La Liga goal in the first half of Saturday's contest against Sevilla.

In typical Messi fashion, the goal was simply sublime.

With just one more, the elfish Argentine will stand alone as the greatest scorer in the history of La Liga. It's a matter of when, now.

Words can't describe that kind of production, and there's no reason to think that Messi, still just 27, will slow down any time soon.
