Messi had equalled the record with a 643rd goal for Barcelona at the weekend in the 2-2 draw with Valencia.
His goal came in the second half of the e counter after Clement Lenglet and Martin Braithwaite had given Ronald Koeman’s men a comfortable 2-0 from the first half.
However, Barcelona are still a long way from the top of the log as they are 8 points off top placed Atletico Madrid and 5 points away from Real Madrid.
Ronald Koeman’s side are fifth on the log, and will need a miracle to meet up with Atletico Madrid whom they have played a game more than the Madrid side have.

Diego Simeone’s men scored through a Mario Hermoso’s header in the 49th minute and a powerful shot from Marcus Llorente 16 minutes from time.
