Lionel Messi is breaking all goalscoring records in the UEFA Champions League, and he added one more record to his already impressive resume.
The Argentine international scored Barcelona's second goal against Borussia Dortmund with a fine finish in front of Roman Burki's net, and he also surpassed two Real Madrid legends in one particular ranking.
As he entered today's game, Messi was even with Raúl and Cristiano when it came to scoring against different rivals in the continental competition, but that changed when he found the back of the net against Dortmund.
