Barcelona's Lionel Messi reached another milestone in his remarkable career when he broke Gerd Müller's 39-year-old record of 67 goals in a season for a European top-flight club, though it could not prevent Real Madrid winning the league title after they beat Athletic Bilbao 3-0.

Barcelona's World Player of the Year netted twice from the penalty spot and once from open play to help his side to a 4-1 win at home to Málaga, his 44th, 45th and 46th La Liga goals of the campaign taking his total in all competitions to 68.

Müller set the record playing for Bayern Munich in the 1972-73 season and Messi has three more matches – two in La Liga and the Copa del Rey final – in which to add to his tally.
