The man at the center of FC Barcelona's glory over the past few years and who took Argentina to the World Cup finals last summer has made it again: Lionel Messi breaks record and becomes the biggest goal-scorer at Champions League!
For many experts, it has been said that Messi is responsible for a change in the way soccer is played these days, along with Real Madrid rival Cristiano Ronaldo - time and again he has proven his abilities as the star of La Liga team Barça, and now, according to different news outlets like The Daily Mail, Messi breaks records again!
At the last match between Barça and APOEL Nicosia, the Argentine forward performed what is known in the sport as a "hat trick" - which is to say, three goal scores in one match by the same player. In this match, Messi breaks records yet again, becoming the biggest goal-scorer in the history of the Champions League with a total of 74.
Amazingly enough, it's not the first time this week that Messi breaks records: last Saturday, in a match against Seville's biggest club, he did another hat trick against the Andalusian club and became the biggest scorer in the history of Spanish La Liga, according to BBC Sports.
Last week, Messi breaks records in Spain in a match against Sevilla, scoring an amazing total of 253 goals in his 10-year career. The feat of 251 took Telmo Zarra, the previous record-holder, a total of 15 years - and there's no doubt that Messi's career will go on for a few more years.
Besides the fact that Messi breaks records, the latest match against APOEL Nicosia also saw Luis Suarez, one of the newest additions to Barça, score his first goal in the club, according to The Guardian.
Uruguayan star Suarez has been surrounded by controversy for a long time, which was sparked even further after he allegedly bit an Italian player during the FIFA World Cup earlier this year.
