Leo Messi equals his own
record, scoring in 10 straight
games
Goal at Anoeta means he equals last
season’s record
Leo Messi just keeps on writing his name in
the record books. Last night’s game in
Donosti was the tenth game on the run that
Messi has scored in - equalling the record
he set last season between weeks 24 and
34 (he missed one game suspended during
that run), when he scored against Valencia,
Atletico Madrid, Racing, Seville, Granada,
Mallorca, Athletic Bilbao, Zaragoza, Getafe
and Llevant, chalking up 18 goals in total.
This time around, Messi began his scoring
record on 11th November against Mallorca
in week 11 of La Liga. Since then he’s found
the net against Zaragoza, Llevant, Athletic
Bilbao, Betis, Atletico Madrid, Valladolid,
Espanyol, Malaga and Real Sociedad –
scoring 17 goals in all.
Equals Martín and Ronaldo
Two other Barça players have scored in 10
straight games in La Liga: Mariano Martín
and Ronaldo. Martín scored 18 goals in 10
games between the 1942/43 and 1943/44
seasons, whilst Ronaldo was on target 12
times when he scored in 10 straight games
in the 1996/97 campaign.
First ever goal at Anoeta
Curiously, Messi’s latest goal was his first at
Anoeta, having failed to find the net in his
previous three visits in the 2006/07,
2010/11 and 2011/12 seasons.
