Lionel Messi Equals 88-Year-Old FC Barcelona Record

Lionel Messi Equals 88-Year-Old FC Barcelona Record

Despite seeing his side get eliminated from the Copa del Rey on Thursday night, Lionel Messi still managed to equal an FC Barcelona record that had stood for 88 years. 

Barca's cup campaign came to an end this week after the Catalan giants suffered a surprise 1-0 defeat to Athletic Bilbao on the same night fellow Basque side Real Sociedad had eliminated Real Madrid from the tournament.

Despite the loss, Messi still managed to pen his name into yet another line in the Blaugrana's history books by becoming the club's joint-most-capped player in the competition.
