Messi continues Copa del Rey domination with double against Celta

Lionel Messi continued his unstoppable form in the Copa del Rey with two more goals and an assist against Celta de Vigo as his Barcelona side rolled to a 5-0 win in the second leg of round of 16 clash.

The Argentine's scoring exploits are nothing new, but his form in the Spanish cup competition is outstanding even by his lofty standards.

Messi has now accounted for 24 goals in his last 14 matches in the competition, racking up 14 goals and 10 assists.

The two goals on Thursday were enough to move the Barca star into the competition's all-time top 10 scorers, with 46 goals to his name.
