Lionel Messi Was Breaking Records Again In Champions League Win Over Man City

Lionel Messi Was Breaking Records Again In Champions League Win Over Man City

He just can't stop, can he?

Lionel Messi was breaking records yet again tonight in the Champions League.

The Argentine ace had a quiet game by his usual standards but still managed to score a sublime hat-trick and win a penalty for his side in a 4-0 win over Manchester City.

Messi's hat-trick brought him another Champions League record, with the 29-year old now reaching 50 home goals in the Champions League - a feat no other player has been able to reach.

Real Madrid legend Raul previously held the record at 49, but Messi's treble tonight against Manchester City means he is now the leading home goalscorer in the Champions League, though he's not even turned 30 yet.

It seems as though Messi breaks a new record every time he steps onto the field.

He's just different gravy, isn't he?
