The Argentine did not take long to score the first goal of the evening for Los Blaugranas against the Czech underdogs.

With such an impressive resume, setting records is natural to Lionel Messi. Even so, today's date will go down in history for both the Argentine and in the UEFA Champions League.

The South American footballer did not wait long to make his presence felt against Slavia Prague, as he found the back of the net after just three minutes of playing time. While some may think that he made history for such an early goal, the real record for the Argentine came when comparing his numbers to those by Cristiano Ronaldo and Raúl, who co-owned the record for most goals scored against a different number of rivals...until today.

If that was not enough reason to heap praise on the Argentine, finding the back of the net for one more season in a row should do the trick.

Messi also increased his lead as the top scorer in UCL Group Stage matches, with 66 goals to his name. 

This was Messi's first goal of the season in the UEFA Champions League, and fans can't wait to see how many more will he add to his already impressive tally. Have a look at Messi's early goal against Slavia (Image could be geo-restricted).
