The Barcelona captain was decisive once more at the business end for his club Wednesday, setting up a goal to achieve one more career landmark.
Andres Iniesta's assist for Ivan Rakitic's goal in Barcelona's 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid means he is the only player to have recorded at least one assist in each of the past 14 La Liga seasons.
The Catalans' provider-in-chief took his all-time assist tally to 83 on Wednesday when he crossed for Rakitic to open the scoring before halftime.
His consistent displays setting up the goals for Barcelona's forwards are just one indication of his value to the club he has helped win eight La Liga titles, as well as four Champions League crowns.
