BARCELONA (Reuters) - After scoring the only goal against Levante which clinched Barcelona's 26th La Liga title on Saturday, Lionel Messi wrote another page in the history books by becoming the club's first player to win 10 league titles.
Messi's first Barca title came in 2005 when he was 17 years old and he was also a fringe player when he collected his second La Liga medal a year later.
Before Messi came of age and inspired a side coached by Pep Guardiola to the 2009 crown, Real Madrid had 31 titles while Barca had 18. Messi, who became club captain at the start of this season, overtook predecessor Andres Iniesta's nine league crowns with the club and joined a select group of players to have lifted 10 titles with one club in Europe's top five leagues.
