Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman insists that his captain Leo Messi is now happy at the club.
The six-time world player of the year last night surpassed Pele's record for the most goals scored by a player for one club.
Messi scored the third goal in Barcelona's 3-0 win over Real Valladolid in LaLiga - taking his total to 644 for the Catalan side.

The Argentine attacker tried to leave the Nou Camp during the summer after becoming frustrated at the club but Koeman says the 33-year-old is content.
"I've said it a lot," the former Everton and Southampton boss said after last night's game. "I see Leo happy here. He's very important for us with his creativity.
"You can see that when there are good players alongside him."
