BARCELONA (Reuters) - Lionel Messi has played down the importance of individual achievements and said the key thing is for Barcelona to continue making history as a team after he became the La Liga club's record scorer on Sunday.

A product of Barca's academy and still only 26, Messi netted a hat-trick in their 7-0 drubbing of Osasuna at the Nou Camp, taking the Argentina forward's tally to 371 goals and surpassing Paulino Alcantara's mark of 369 set between 1912 and 1927.
