Lionel Messi Embarrasses David Moyes On His Debut: Scores 253 La Liga Goals For Barcelona

David Moyes just can't catch a break, can he? The new Real Sociedad manager made his coaching debut for the La Liga side and all eyes were on him, but as he usually does, Lionel Messi stole the show shortly before, according to the BBC. His hat trick in a 5-1 win for Barcelona ensured that he became the all-time top scorer for La Liga with 253 goals. With this record in place, Spain and the world soon forgot about the ex-Manchester United manager as all took joy in watching Messi make history, adding to the view that he's the best player to ever play the game.

Messi was one short of the record, but a free-kick put him on level terms, and his two second-half goals ensured the 27-year-old will forever be a La Liga legend, according to the BBC.

His coach, Luis Enrique, told the BBC: "He's a unique player — there'll never be anyone like him and we're lucky to enjoy his presence here. I think he will leave the record unreachable for anyone else. Zarra beat it in an age when there were more forwards than defenders."

Although all eyes are on La Liga at the moment, there are still two questions surrounding Messi and Moyes: Will Messi grace and prove himself in the English Premier League, and will Moyes return after his failed stint in charge of the Red Devils?

Moyes was hoping to steal the spotlight, but he had better get used to talents like Messi, Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo stealing the headlines on a regular basis.
