Messi finally scored a goal against Chelsea, and he will remember this day for a number of reasons.
"La Pulga" kept Barcelona's hopes in this competition alive with his equalizer after 73 minutes, which will force Chelsea to score at least once if they want to make it to the Quarter finals. But even if the Argentine's goal was enough reason for him to be happy, he managed to keep a safe distance from his goalscoring rivals (namely Cristiano Ronaldo) in two particular departments.
The Argentine ace extended his lead as the best striker in the UEFA Champions League's Round of 16. As of now, the 5-time Ballon D'Or winner has found the back of the net 22 times in this stage, three more than Cristiano Ronaldo. (Source: UEFA.com)
Added to that, Messi's first goal against the Blues opened a seven-goal gap between himself and Cristiano Ronaldo as the deadliest marksman against English teams.
