LIONEL MESSI SMASHES ANOTHER RECORD IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
After surpassing Telmo Zarra’s legendary tally to become La Liga’s all-time top scorer, Lionel Messi has now etched his name even deeper into football history. On Tuesday night, the FC Barcelona forward overtook Raúl’s Champions League goal record (71) by netting a hat-trick against APOEL Nicosia, taking his tally to 74 goals in the prestigious European competition.
Modest as always despite his achievement, Messi stated:
“It’s wonderful to have broken this record in a competition like this, but the most important thing in all of this was to win the match.”
At just 27 years old, the Argentine superstar continues to raise the bar, leaving fans and rivals alike in awe. His recent streak of record-breaking performances comes at a crucial time — with the FIFA Ballon d’Or award looming, Messi’s brilliance could once again tilt the scales in his favor.
As Messi keeps rewriting history, one question grows louder: How much higher can he go?
