Lionel Messi loves facing English teams, and his record against them, of late, brilliantly proves that.

The Barcelona starlet made it three goals in two games against Chelsea as they secured passage to the Champions League quarter-final.

It continues his prolific form versus Premier League opposition.

After failing to net in his first 10 Champions League appearances against English teams, the Argentine magician has since netted an impressive 20 goals in his last 18 games.

Below Tweets were prior to his second goal.

It includes strikes against Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United, and, of course, Chelsea.

Naturally, Messi's brilliance against English teams sent social media into overdrive.

And there's still time left in this campaign to score more goals against English teams with Manchester City and Liverpool advancing to the next round.

Messi - What a player!
