Lionel Messi breaks Xavi’s assist record in La Liga

Lionel Messi has set another new record with Barcelona as he has overtaken Xavi become the player with the most assists in a single La Liga season.

Xavi has held the record since the 2008-09 campaign as the former Barcelona midfielder registered 20 assists that season.

Messi equalled that tally by setting up Arturo Vidal’s goal in Barca’s 1-0 win over Real Valladolid last week.

And the Argentine broke Xavi’s total in Barcelona’s final game of their La Liga campaign against Alaves as he provided the pass for Ansu Fati’s opening goal. (Metro)
