Lionel Messi is on an incredible run of form
Lionel Messi was on target against Girona. Of course he was. It’s what he does. He’s now scored 19 La Liga goals, and it’s only January, and he missed a few weeks with a broken arm.
Even more incredibly he’s now produced a goal or an assist in every single league match he’s played in since September.
That works out as 15 games with 15 goals and eight assists. The last time he did not produce a goal or an assist was against Real Sociedad on September 15, a run of 15 games, which is simply remarkable consistency from the captain.
