Leo Messi scored Barcelona’s second goal in the 5-0 rout of Las Palmas on Saturday to reach the milestone of having scored against 35 different clubs in the Spanish top flight, a mark he now shares with Real Madrid great Raúl.
Messi’s first goal against Las Palmas took him past Julio Salinas, who scored against 34 different clubs in the 1980s and 1990s during spells at Barça, Athletic and Atlético.
