Argentine superstar Leo Messi, who scored two goals in Barcelona’s win Saturday night over Rayo Vallecano, is now 10th on the Spanish League’s Top 10 list of scorers, tying former Seville player Juan Arza at 182 goals.

Telmo Zarra, of Athletic, tops the list with 251 goals, followed by Mexican Hugo Sanchez, who scored 234 goals while playing for Atletico, Real Madrid and Rayo, and Raul, who scored 228 goals with Real Madrid.

“The important thing is that we won in a tough place, it’s a hard field and that’s the important thing,” the Argentine star said.

Messi is close to 9th place on the list, a slot held by Carlos Alonso Santillana with 186 goals.
