Lionel Messi just keeps racking up the personal milestones.

Barcelona’s talisman scored his 500th goal with the Blaugrana on Sunday, the little Argentine once again punishing Sevilla – as he has done so many times in his illustrious career – by finishing off a blistering move that involved some typically intricate footwork from Neymar.

The 43rd-minute tally restored parity in the contest, Barcelona heading into the interval at one apiece despite being thoroughly outplayed. That’s the magic of Messi.
