A Champions League love story – Barcelona’s Lionel Messi breaks the competition record with his 19th strike in knockout games.
The Argentine, still only 24, surpassed Raul and Andriy Shevchenko with his late strike away to Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday night
The Ballon d’Or winner scored an incredible 53 in all competitions last term and has already added an astonishing 37 in 2010-12 for Barca, playing – as always – with plenty of heart.
So it is perhaps fitting that on Saint Valentine’s Day, the much-admired Argentine created his own celebration of love by breaking yet another record, as he surpassed the mark set for goals scored in the knockout stages of the Champions League in Germany on Tuesday, with his 19th strike in games played at the business end of the tournament
