Messi Sets New Record As Barca Hammer Osasuna 7-0
- Updated: March 17, 2014
Lionel Messi scored a hat-trick to become Barcelona’s all-time top scorer as the Catalan club cruised to a commanding 7-0 win over Osasuna.
Messi opened the scoring after 19 minutes to equal Paulino Alcantara’s record of 369 goals in all competitions – including friendlies – for Barcelona.
The Argentina international struck again in the second half to move onto 370 goals and become the club’s undisputed top marksman, and then completed his treble with a simple finish in the 87th minute.
Alexis Sanchez, Andres Iniesta and Cristian Tello also scored for Barcelona.
Barca remain third in the Primera Division and four points behind leaders Real Madrid despite the win, but will have the chance to cut the gap with their arch rivals at the Bernabeu in a week’s time.
And this slick and dominant performance will give Gerardo Martino’s side plenty of confidence going into the Clasico, banishing any doubts they had about their ability to win the league following last week’s shock defeat at Valladolid.
