Messi become the first player to score 60 goals in a major European league. Lionel Messi scored his 59th and 60th goals of the season to fuel Barcelona s fightback for a 4-1 win at 10-man Zaragoza as the defending champions stayed in the chase for a fourth straight Spanish league title on Saturday. Barcelona s ninth consecutive league victory provisionally reduced league leader Real Madrid s advantage to three points before Valencia s visit on Sunday. The European champions host Real Madrid in three rounds in a "clasico" match that will likely go a long way to deciding the league crown. Zaragoza played the second half a man down, and Messi scored a penalty in the 86th to become the first player to score 60 goals in a major European league since Gerd Mueller had 67 for Bayern Munich in 1972-73. Messi then set up struggling teammate Pedro Rodriguez in stoppage time to seal the win at La Romareda Stadium. The three-time world player of the year has scored 38 times in league play, giving him one more goal than Cristiano Ronaldo as the two stars duel to break the Madrid forward s league record of 40 from last season.
