Barcelona captain, Lionel Messi, on Wednesday night became the first player in the world to score in fifteen consecutive UEFA Champions League seasons following his side’s 2-1 win over Slavia Prague, according to the Daily Star.
The Argentine captain also equaled a Champions League record held by Juventus forward, Cristiano Ronaldo and Real Madrid legend, Raul, after scoring against Slavia.
Messi’s goal against the Czech Republic side means he has now scored against thirty-three different Champions League opponents, a record he now shared with Ronaldo and Raul.
The 32-year-old has faced forty different clubs in the Champions League from sixteenth countries, failing to score against five; Inter Milan, Rubin Kazan, Udinese, Atletico Madrid and Benfica.
Messi will now hope to lead Barcelona to victory when they take on Valladolid in their next fixture in the La Liga.
