Pulling up the ball simply inside PSV’s box, Messi’s faultless control encouraged him to spin through his opponents before swinging his left foot for a remarkable goal that paused the goalkeeper.
By scoring Barcelona’s opening goal in the 61st minute, Messi climbed to 106 career Champions League goals for Barcelona. Now with Juventus, Ronaldo would be probably not going to recover that record at any point in the near future.
On the record, Messi stated after the game: ‘I am delighted, I have just found out now. I am happy about this new stat.’
The win guarantees that Barcelona will finish best of Group B, with Inter Milan and Tottenham doing combating for second place.
Finally, he concluded: “The most important thing was to win and finish first and we have done that with a game to spare, so the job is done.”
Here is how twitter have reacted to Messi’s goal:
#Messi …..magical stardust again from the wizard of our game.
