The Argentina ace extended his dominance as the most prolific striker in the tournament when playing group stage games.

It would not be a UEFA Champions League matchday without a new milestone for Lionel Messi, and the Blaugrana captain did not disappoint against Ferencvaros.

After a rocky start of the game for Los Blaugranas, where the Hungarian side hit the post and had a goal disallowed due to an offside, Messi took matters into his own hands -or feet- to single-handedly earn a penalty kick and score the opening goal for Los Culés in the 2020-21 UCL season.

While he extended his lead as the top scorer in Group stage games in this competition, Messi also improved the previous goalscoring record for a captain in this tournament, which used to belong to a Real Madrid legend.

Now, Messi will try to add one more UEFA Champions League title with Barcelona in what could very well be his final season with Los Culés if he keeps up his promise to leave the club when the season comes to an end.
