The Argentine scored twice and picked up an assist in a 4-1 win that sees Barca cut the gap on leaders Atletico Madrid to four points.
It was a historic night for Messi who equalled Xavi’s record for Barcelona appearances after making his 767th outing for the Catalan giants.
Koeman was full of praise for his captain after the win:
“I think Messi has shown that he is the best. The first goal was fantastic. He deserves so much to be important to this team. Luckily he’s still with us,” he said.
