Record-Breaking Messi

Lionel Messi became Barcelona's all-time leading scorer this week.

The 24-year-old Argentine broke a record that had stood for more than half a century with a 67th-minute goal in Barcelona's 5-2 victory over Granada.

Fittingly, Messi finished the match with a hat trick, his eighth for Barcelona this season alone.

Here's a clip of Messi's record-setting goal.

Here's an article that spotlights all eight hat tricks he's scored this season for Barcelona.

And here's a clip featuring all of Messi's goals—at least through Wednesday's game.

Another Goal Against Mallorca

Messi scored again Saturday as Barcelona defeated Mallorca 2-0 away in La Liga action. But some would say Alexis Sanchez should have received credit for the goal.

See for yourself here.

The Argentine forward got credit for his side's first goal in the 25th minute before Gerard Piqué sealed the points with a strike in the 79th.

The win was Barca's seventh straight in the league. They're now six points behind league-leading Real Madrid.

Ronaldo, Ozil Combine for a Beauty

Real Madrid dropped points midweek against relegation-threatened Villarreal.

Ronaldo put Real ahead with a slick strike in the second half after playing a one-two with Mesut Ozil just outside the box.

It was the Portuguese superstar's 99th goal for Real Madrid.

Villarreal equalized late in the second half and held on for a 1-1 draw.

Ronaldo Hits 100

Ronaldo passed the century mark against Real Sociedad on Saturday as Real Madrid won 5-1 at the Bernabeu.

The first—Ronaldo's 100th for Real Madrid—came in the 33rd minute as Ronaldo slipped behind the defense and beat the keeper with an accurate shot to the far post. That goal appears in the video at left.

Ronaldo's second was a tap-in at the far post after nice work from Gonzalo Higuaín. View it by clicking here.
