Hat trick hero Leo Messi insists that he’s more interested in the team’s collective success than in topping the goal scorers table – he currently leads the “pichichi” table with 24 goals.
After his fourth hat trick of the season helped see off Atletico Madrid, Messi moved to the top of the La Liga scorers table with 24 goals, but he made it clear that the important thing for him was the collective triumph more than any individual prize: “the last thing I’m worried about is winning the pichichi award – the important thing is to continue our winning run”.
Proud of record
The win over Atletico set a new La Liga record of 16 straight wins and Messi expressed his satisfaction at beating the previous best set in the 1960-61 season by Real Madrid: “I’m proud that we have beaten the record set by Di Stefano’s Madrid - we have to enjoy that”.
