Following the midweek disappointment of defeat to Paris St Germain in the Champions League, Barcelona resumed usual service yesterday in La Liga against Rayo Vallecano. Lionel Messi closed in on Telmo Zarra’s all-time scoring record with goal number 249 to put Luís Enrique’s side in front with a delicate lob and a minute later, Neymar fired in a second. A thoroughly dominant performances leaves Barcelona top of La Liga and a seventh consecutive clean sheet set a new league record.
