To keep you up to date with the seemingly endless parade of records either having being broken or about to be broken by Lionel Messi, the Barcelona forward is just six goals short of becoming La Liga's all-time top goalscorer. The Argentine has 245 goals to his name, with Telmo Zarra's tally of 251 in his sights. He probably won't do it today. I say probably, he has got it in his locker the little genius.

Luis Enrique's Barcelona had a league-high 71.6% of possession on the opening weekend of La Liga.

They started this season with a 2-0 win at Levante.

Last weekend, the Luis Enrique Barcelona reign got off to a decent start as his side brushed aside the inconvenience of being reduced to 10 men and notched up an opening 3-0 win over Elche.
