XtraTime Web Desk: Barcelona’s new captain Lionel Messi achieved new feat as he won his 33rd title for the club as the La Liga champions edged past Sevilla 2-1 in Tangier.




Lionel Messi stands alone as the most decorated player in Barcelona history after Sunday’s Supercopa de Espana triumph.




Messi moved ahead of club great Andres Iniesta – the man he replaced as skipper following his transfer to Japanese outfit Vissel Kobe – for the most trophies at Camp Nou.




The 31-year-old superstar has won nine LaLiga titles, four Champions League crowns, six Copas del Rey and eight Supercopas as well as three UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup trophies since debuting in 2005.




Messi and Barca are next in action against Boca Juniors in the Joan Gamper Trophy on Wednesday before opening their LaLiga title defence with the visit of Alaves on Saturday.
