Lionel Messi Has Scored More Champions League Goals Vs. English Clubs Than Any Other Country

Lionel Messi has scored more Champions League goals versus English clubs than any other country.

The iconic Barcelona talisman has netted an impressive 22 goals against English opposition, and he'll look to add to that tally when his side face Manchester United in the Champions League quarter-finals.

Messi created and scored in Barcelona's dismantling of Lyon in the last-16 stage, with the La Liga leaders being paired up with Manchester United for a spot in the Champions League semi-final.

He's now set to lead his team out against United in the next round of the Champions League, and the 31-year-old has the chance to increase his ridiculous goal-scoring record against English teams.

As mentioned above, he's netted 22 goals versus English sides including nine against Arsenal and two versus quarter-final opponents, United.

Here's a breakdown of his goals vs. English clubs:

2 vs. Manchester United

It appears Barcelona got their wish. Reports surfaced claiming their players wanted to draw United.

That's according to Spanish outlet AS. They claimed Barcelona 'would be satisfied' if they drew Manchester United or Porto, who got Liverpool.

Will Messi continue his goal-scoring ways vs. English clubs?

Let us know what you think.
