Lionel Messi set a new Champions League record on Wednesday night to move further ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo in terms of opponents scored against in the competition.
Messi netted a stunning goal to open the scoring for Paris Saint-Germain during their 1-1 draw against Benfica on Wednesday evening. It was a superb, curling finish from the Argentine to cap a flowing team move from Les Parisiens in a move that involved both Kylian Mbappe and Neymar.
The Argentine superstar whipped the ball into the corner of the net, giving Benfica goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos no chance, with a wonderful first-time finish after stepping onto Mbappe's first-time pass in a delightful moment of understanding between the club's star forwards.
