The top scorer in La Liga is now also the top creator

Messi has created 11 goals this season -- 147 in total

Lionel Messi's extraordinary vision chalked up another victim on Saturday. Against Eibar, after a brilliant pass for Luis Suarez's opening goal, the Argentine produced another assist. 

Messi can now boast of having created more goals than anyone else in La Liga, level with former Real Madrid man Michel -- both have 147 assists. 

The Barça No.10 is much more than a goal scorer. His assist at Ipurua this weekend -- and there could have been more -- was his 11th in the top flight this season. 

Ridiculous statistics from a unique player. His best ever season in La Liga in terms of assists came in 2014-15, when he created 19 goals for his teammates.
