Messi Hits The 30-Goal Mark For The Eighth Season

Lionel Messi scored a direct free-kick to help Barcelona to a 2-1 over Sevilla, extending the club’s unbeaten run to 34 games and getting the Argentine to the 30-goal mark for the eighth consecutive season.

The Catalan side’s streak is now the equal-longest in history for a La Liga side in all competitions, alongside a Real Madrid sequence in 1988-89.

Barca had to do it the hard way, though, coming from behind at home against Sevilla to eventually win 2-1.

Messi’s goals over those 8 seasons:

2008/09 = 38
2009/10 = 47
2010/11 = 53
2011/12 = 73
2012/13 = 60
2013/14 = 41
2014/15 = 58
2015/16 = 30
