MESSI EQUALS RAUL's RECORD...... Saluted by the Legend

By -
The Argentine netted against Las Palmas on Saturday, meaning that he now sits alongside a Bernabeu icon in having scored against 35 La Liga opponents
Having seen eternal rival Cristiano Ronaldo make plenty of headlines in recent weeks, Lionel Messi returned to centre stage on Saturday.
The Barcelona talisman may have been overlooked for Balon d’Or and FIFA Best Player honours, but he continues to set the standard at Camp Nou.
He also has few equals in La Liga, with another notable landmark reached in his latest outing.
Messi was on target in Barca’s 5-0 mauling of Las Palmas, with the club from the Canary Islands the 35th top-flight foe to have felt the Argentine’s wrath.
Only one other player can claim to have achieved such a feat, with Real Madrid legend Raul paying homage to a man who has joined him on an illustrious pedestal, saying: “A pleasure to enjoy your goals every day in La Liga.”
Raul, like Messi, was a goal-scoring force of nature in his heyday, netting 323 times for Real over the course of an illustrious career.
His club record has since been passed by Ronaldo, but he remains an iconic figure in the Spanish capital.
Messi enjoys a similar standing in Catalunya and continues to enhance that standing on an almost daily basis.
He has now found the target against every side taking part in the 2016-17 La Liga campaign, with Xerez, Murcia and Cadiz – who are no longer in the top-flight – the only sides to have kept him out.

Male Angle Don't trivialise it When I first wondered about this question, I thought it was something actually ridiculous, but after having discussed it with my wife and a few friends, I must say that I agree with a lot of the things everyone said. Let me explain here. I definitely agree it can be a little sexy to say it, but it depends on the familiarity and the relationship you both have. But I also completely understand how many people can be made to feel like a used piece of crap, a prostitute, or it just being plain awkward if they get thanked every time they had sex with their partners. I can see it from both sides. But it just depends on the situation. Men also have the same issues to think about. For us, it is also about being put on the center stage and our sexual performance is being verified, acknowledged and praised or abused. It's like a prized bull or horse being praised while being used for breeding. A lot of men will even question why there should even be a ne...
