Messi scored two late goals as leaders Fc Barcelona won 3-0 away to Hercules, its 15th consecutive victory matching the La Liga record set by Real Madrid in 1960-61.
Promoted Hercules stunned the champions with a 2-0 win at the Nou Camp back in September, the only defeat Barca have suffered in the league this season, and they made life tough for their visitors until Pedro struck just before the break.
World player of the year Lionel Messi had had a poor game by his standards until the 87th minute, just after Hercules had been reduced to 10 men with a red card for Francisco Farinos, when he struck the decisive goal off the post.
Two minutes later, he tapped in Barca's third for his 21st of the season.
