Barcelona football superstar Lionel Messi has made UEFA Champions League history by becoming the first player to score in the competition in each of the last 15 seasons.
Messi’s close-range strike meant that the Argentine hitman stood alone as the only player in Champions League history to register a goal in the competition for 15 successive seasons.
It added to Messi’s long list of personal accolades as the Barcelona star fired his side into the lead inside the opening three minutes of the match in the Czech Republic.
Messi was congratulated for his crisp first-time finish as his teammates mobbed him after the goal, with them perhaps aware of the landmark nature of the finish.
