Messi was honored by his teammates at Camp Nou on Monday, ahead of his 769th match for the Catalan big club.
After the 33-year-old touched on Xavi's listing in mid-March, he celebrated by scoring two goals in Barcelona's 6-1 victory over Real Sociedad six days later.
In Monday's fight against Valladolid, Messi was goalless, but Barcelona won and overshadowed Atletico Madrid in the league top.
