LIONEL MESSI has extended his lead at the top of the La Liga scoring charts after notching his 600th career goal against Atletico Madrid.
Barcelona legend Messi bagged his 24th La Liga goal of the season with a superb free-kick against Atletico Madrid at the Nou Camp.
The Argentine forward whipped his effort past Jan Oblak to rack up his third goal from a direct free-kick in as many matches, sealing yet another win for Ernesto Valverde's side.
It was Messi’s 32nd goal of the season and the 600th of his incredible career, pushing him further clear of great rival Cristiano Ronaldo in this season’s scoring chart.
Barcelona team-mate Luis Suarez is currently the 30-year-old’s closest challenger for the Golden Boot on 20 strikes, although there is still a long way to go.
