Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes has set a record for the longest run without conceding a goal for the club.
After 38 minutes of Tuesday's Champions League match against Viktoria Plzen in Prague, Valdes broke the mark of 824 minutes set by Miguel Reina in the 1972-73 season.
Valdes made a great save in the 17th minute of the match, denying Plzen midfielder Milan Petrzela in a one-on-one situation.
The last time Valdes conceded a goal was on Sept. 21 in a 2-2 draw against Valencia.
Lionel Messi also broke a record in the night, as he broke the 200-goal barrier for his Barcelona career with his second straight hat trick in a 4-0 win at Viktoria Plzen on Tuesday night that advanced the club to the Champions League knockout stage.
Messi converted a penalty kick in the 24th minute, scored off a one-two with Adriano in first-half injury time and got his third from Gerard Pique's backheel pass in second-half injury time. Messi has 202 goals in his Barcelona career, including 22 in 17 games this season.
''I'm happy, but not just for the result but for how we played,'' Messi said.
Messi got his 14th career hat trick and second in the Champions League. His 42 Champions League goals already are ninth on the career list.
''A phenomenal player,'' Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola said. ''At 24, he has broken so many records.''
