He may have struggled in his first three games, but not in his fourth!
Lionel Messi finally ended his goal scoring hoodoo against Gianluigi Buffon, and he did so scoring a brace against the legendary goalkeeper.
With his brace today, Messi reached 96 goals in UEFA Champions League matches, fifteen in his last ten games with Los Blaugranas. And if that wasn't enough, he led Barcelona into getting even against Juventus, following their elimination from the 2016-17 UCL quarter finals.
Here's how Messi's legacy keeps increasing with each game.
