Argentinian star Lionel Messi, captain of Barcelona, scored two goals against Getafe at the "Camp Nou" in the concluding match of the 31st round of La Liga. The statistics network "Squawka" reported that Messi is the only player to have scored 25 goals or more in La Liga in each of the last 12 seasons.
His two goals contributed to his team's valuable 5-2 victory over Getafe, as he opened the scoring for Barcelona early in the 8th minute and netted his second goal in the 33rd minute, further solidifying his lead in the top scorers list with 25 goals, 4 goals ahead of his closest rival Karim Benzema, the top scorer of Real Madrid.
It is noteworthy that Barcelona has a postponed match, and if they win, they will raise their points to 71 and seize second place from their rivals Real Madrid. Barcelona is also set to face Atletico Madrid at the "Camp Nou" on May 8th in matchday 35 of La Liga, which is expected to significantly determine the identity of the champion.
