BARCELONA (Reuters) - Barcelona equalled the Spanish top flight record of 38 successive games without defeat following their 3-1 La Liga win over Leganes on Saturday, matching Real Sociedad’s unbeaten run between 1979 and 1980.
La Liga top scorer Lionel Messi struck a hat-trick for the runaway leaders. Barca’s last defeat in the league was a 2-0 loss at Malaga on April 8 2017.
