Top Twitter reactions on record breaking Lionel Messi
Lionel Messi became the all-time top goalscorer of La Liga on Saturday after scoring a hat-trick in Barcelona’s 5-1 win over Sevilla.
The Argentine broke Telmo Zarra’s previous record of 251 goals as he took his career tally to 253 league goals on a night where the Blaugranas completely dominated their opponents. After the game, Messi was acknowledged by his team-mates as he was given the guard of honour and a tribute video was shown in the Camp Nou.
But the praise didn’t just stop there as his fellow mates congratulated and paid tribute to him on social media for achieving this milestone. From Luis Suarez to club legend Carlos Puyol, here are the top tweets on the Argentine’s record.
Carles Puyol on Instagram: Gracias por tanto, Leo!!! #thebestplayer @leomessi.
