Lionel Messi scored against the 36th different team he has faced in La Liga on Saturday to break the league record, while Barcelona also set a new club unbeaten league run as they beat Girona 6-1 on Saturday.

By scoring in the first half, Messi broke the record he shared with Athletic Bilbao striker Aritz Aduriz.

Messi has found the net against all but three of the clubs he has faced in La Liga -- only coming up empty against Cadiz (now in the second division), Real Murcia (now third division) and Xerez (now fourth division).

Girona, Leo #Messi's latest @LaLiga victim and his 36th overall - more than any other player!
