Barcelona captain, Lionel Messi scored a brace against Eibar in the final La Liga match of the season, which sees him overtake arch-rival Cristiano Ronaldo’s all-time club record.
On Sunday, Lionel Messi scored twice as Barcelona drew 2-2 with SD Eibar in the final matchday of the 2018-19 La Liga season. The brace helped the Argentine legend overtake Cristiano Ronaldo’s all-time club record of goals scored. The Catalans were already crowned La Liga Champions a couple of weeks earlier, when they reached an unassailable lead over second-placed Atletico Madrid.
The draw against Eibar helped them end their league campaign on a positive note, ahead of their Copa del Rey final against Valencia. Messi scored in the 31st and 32nd minute of the Eibar game, after Barcelona conceded an early goal. Both goals arose from Eibar defenders’ mistakes as they failed to track his run on both occasions.

Vendrán otros monstruos, pero no tendremos otra rivalidad deportiva como esta. Son dos jugadores contemporáneos que llevan más de una década compitiendo al más alto nivel. Algo que nunca antes se había visto y que, seguramente, no se repetirá.
