Barcelona: Popular footballer Lionel Messi got another feather in his hat on Sunday, He made his 500th appearance for Barcelona in La Liga.  This was Argentine striker's 750th appearance for the club across all competitions. He achieved the feat in Barcelona's La Liga clash against Huesca.

Talking about the match, Messi had missed Barcelona's 1-1 draw against Eibar on Tuesday, but for the clash on Sunday, the striker made his way back into Ronald Koeman's side. He was not able to score any goal against Huesca, but he did provide an assist for Frenkie de Jong to help Barcelona clock a 1-0 victory. Messi is only the second player, and the firstborn outside of Spain, to reach 500 games for Barca. Spain's Xavi holds the record for all-time appearances for Barcelona with 767 games. Xavi's total is 17 more than Messi's current tally of 750, including Sunday's game.

Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo surpassed Brazilian legend Pele to become the second-highest goalscorer ever after scoring a brace for Juventus in the Serie A clash against Udinese on Sunday.
