Barcelona held by Cadiz in Camp Nou as Messi bags another record

Messi, after being included in the line up against Cadiz, went on to register another impeccable record to his name. The Argentina international has now managed 506 appearances in LaLiga, breaking the previous record set out by his former teammate and Al-Sadd manager Xavi Hernandez. He is now the most capped player for Barcelona in the Spanish top-flight. 

Despite scoring the opener against Cadiz, Messi could not succeed in rounding up a win for Ronald Koeman. The club captain scored from the spot in the 32nd minute after Barcelona were awarded a penalty following a foul on Pedri. Even as the Blaugrana appeared to be heading towards a narrow victory, Clement Lenglet committed a defensive error to hand a penalty to Cadiz. Alex Hernandez went on to bag the equaliser in the 89th minute.
