The Argentine ace led Barcelona's surge against Sevilla to maintain their 7-point lead atop of La Liga.

Is there any reasonable way to see Messi stop scoring goals?

Yes, the Argentine is human, but week in and week out, he makes fans wonder about how or when will he show signs of losing his superpowers. This week's performance against Valencia is a token of how relevant he is for Barcelona, especially after being involved in all of the goals his team scored against Sevilla in an epic comeback win.

That win helped Messi and Co. in keeping their seven point lead as La Liga leaders, despite the efforts of Atlético and Real Madrid, who also won their matches this weekend. Saevilla's loss against Los Blaugranas saw them lose the fourth spot in the competition, with Getafe surpassing them after beating Rayo Vallecano.

Here's a look at how La Liga's standings look like after Matchday 25.

Messi gets closer to make La Liga history

Yes, there are still more records for the Argentine to beat. "La Pulga" got closer to the all-time hat-trick leader in La Liga (Cristiano Ronaldo) with yet another stunning performance. Sevilla is the team that has suffered the most when the Argentine faces them , and his 50th professional hat-trick (32 of those in La Liga games) is a fine example of what he can do.

La Liga controversy - What's wrong with Bale?

The Welshman scored the game-winning goal for Real Madrid from the spot just four minutes after being subbed on, but his non-celebration and nasty gesture against Lucas Vázquez stole most comments in all post-match conversations. If he is mad about his substitute role with Los Blancos, letting his boss know about it this way is not the proper way to do so.

Pichichi race

Lionel Messi cemented his lead at the top of La Liga'a goalscoring charts with his aforementioned performance during the weekend. If that was not enough, he has 16 assists to his name, topping that chart as well. Is it time for La Liga to change the trophy's name to "the Messi"?
