Lionel Messi Scores 30th Goal of the Season to Reach Landmark for 11th Successive Season

Lionel Messi scored the winner for Barcelona yet again on Saturday night, netting the only goal as La Blaugrana edged out Real Valladolid by the odd goal at Camp Nou.

The goal may not have been the most exhilarating of Messi's career - having come from the penalty spot, but it did bring up another landmark achievement in the Argentine superstar's legendary career.

For the 11th successive season, Messi has netted 30 goals or more in all competitions; with his statistics in front of goal really needing to be seen in order to be believed.
