Barcelona star Messi shrugs off latest scoring record

Barcelona star Lionel Messi shrugged off his latest goalscoring record.

His goal in their draw with Celta Vigo made him the first to score against every other team in the Primera Division in one season.

"The least important thing is the streak," he told reporters after the match. "I was fortunate to score in all those games and help the team to keep on track.

"But that's not important. We wanted to win after the effort of the squad that were selected but we could not."
