Lionel Messi Sets New Champions League Record Against Arsenal

The Argentine has now scored nine goals against the Gunners as his fine finish rounded off a 3-1 win at Camp Nou on Wednesday evening. 

Another game and another record set by Lionel Messi - this time at the expense of Arsenal. 

The 28 years old Argentine capped off a 3-1 victory on Wednesday evening in Camp Nou with a stunning scooped finish from close range, although the goal of the night was Luis Suarez’s sublime effort to put Barcelona 2-1 up.

But Messi’s goal was his ninth against Arsenal in the Champions League - and no other player in the competition’s history has scored more against a single opponent.
