Lionel Messi achieved another brilliant record this weekend. That’s a standard Saturday for him.

It’s not much of a surprise to hear he’s completed another feat but given this record hadn’t been attained since the 2002/03 season, it’s well worth talking about.

Messi emulates Thierry Henry’s 2002/03 goals and assist record
The Barcelona captain helped his side beat Real Valladolid 1-0 as he provided the assist for Arturo Vidal’s winner.

Messi delightfully chipped the ball into Vidal’s path and the Chilean fired it in-off the post to ensure Barca kept in touch with LaLiga leaders Real Madrid.

This was enough to give Barcelona the win

In supplying the assist, Messi emulated a record set by Arsenal icon and former Barcelona star Thierry Henry.

The Frenchman fired in 24 goals and provided 20 assists in the 2002/03 Premier League season.

No other players had scored 20+ goals and provided 20+ assists in a single top-five European season since records began.

However, Messi now joins Henry in that exclusive club.
