Another good night for Barcelona and another good night for Leo Messi, after scoring a brace for Barcelona in their 3-0 win over Spartak Moscow in Russia. This takes him to the 2nd position on the list of all time top scorer in the Champions League (excluding qualifying rounds) along with Ruud Van Nistelrooy. Very hard to believe that he is only 25 years of age.
Champions League stats for Messi
Matches - 73
Goals - 56
Goal-Match ratio - 0.77
The only person having scored more goals more than Messi is Raul, who played for Real Madrid and Schalke, and scored 71 goals in 144 games. Messi top scored last season in the Champions League. In the current season, Messi is the joint top scorer with 5 goals, and no one can bet against him this season also. Also in the list of all time top scorers, only Alfred Di Stefano has a better match-goal ratio with 0.88. And people wondering about Cristiano Ronaldo, he is not far off with 43 goals in 84 games.
Considering the team Messi plays for, the form he is in and the type of player he is, looks like he is on the way to become the All time top scorer in the Champions League. Not to forget he's only 25.
Some amazing achievements by Messi in the Champions League/ European Cup
a) Leo Messi is also the only person to have top scored in 4 consecutive season from 2008-09 till the 20011-12 season
b) Messi is only one of the four players who has scored 3 hat tricks in the Champions League
c) Messi is the only player to score 2 hat tricks in 1 Champions League season (2011-12)
d) Messi and Di Stefano are the only players to top score in a season with 14 goals
e) Messi is only one of eleven players to score 5 goals in a single match
What an amazing player he is. As a footballing fan, you can only hope that he continues to break all records.
