Lionel Messi breaks goalscoring record

Lionel Messi overtakes Alfredo di Stefano's tally of 227 La Liga strikes with a brace against Rayo Vallecano

Barcelona forward Lionel Messi has overtaken Real Madrid icon Alfredo di Stefano's goal tally by scoring a brace against Rayo Vallecano at Camp Nou in La Liga.

The Argentine scored a goal in either half to surpass Di Stefano's record of 227 La Liga strikes, while drawing level with another Madrid legend Raul.

The 26-year-old also surpassed former Athletic Bilbao player Telmo Zarra's record total of 335 goals for a single Spanish side.

Messi was withdrawn from tonight's game with 16 minutes still remaining.
