Lionel Messi sets new Champions League records at expense of Cristiano Ronaldo

Lionel Messi added yet more records to his collection with a virtuoso display in Paris Saint-Germain’s thrashing of Maccabi Haifa on Tuesday night.

PSG secured their passage to the knockout stages of the Champions League in style with a 7-2 win at the Parc des Princes. Their victory, and Benfica’s 4-3 win over Juventus, sees both sides qualify for the last-16, with both on 11 points to Maccabi Haifa and Juve’s three.

Messi and Kylian Mbappe both scored twice – but it was the former Barcelona man who was the star of the show, with two assists and two goals. And in doing so Messi made some history – history which will not be welcomed by his long-time rival Cristiano Ronaldo.
