Messi claims new La Liga record in Barca win

Lionel Messi set another La Liga record on Saturday as Barcelona made a winning return to the pitch.

Arturo Vidal opened the scoring after just two minutes before Messi set up Martin Braithwaite for his first Barca goal and then Jordi Alba to make the points safe.
