Magic Messi makes Barcelona history as Iniesta's La Liga record is beaten

Lionel Messi has now won more La Liga titles with Barcelona than any other player in the club's prestigious history.

Barcelona clinched the Spanish championship on Saturday evening following a narrow 1-0 victory at home to Levante.

Messi was left out of the Barca starting XI as Ernesto Valverde looked ahead to the upcoming Champions League semi-final showdown with Liverpool.

The Argentina international was introduced at half-time, however, in place of Philippe Coutinho and inevitably scored the goal to secure his club the Liga crown.
