Lionel Messi has beaten Cristiano
Ronaldo
to the Champions League goals record held by Real Madrid icon Raul with his goal
for Barcelona at APOEL in Cyprus on Tuesday night.
Messi’s double at Ajax earlier this month saw him move one ahead of the Portuguese and draw level with former Madrid captain Raul on 71 goals in Europe’s premier club competition.
The 27-year-old has now netted 72 times in 91 games for Barcelona in the Champions League, while Ronaldo has scored his 70 in 106 matches. Raul needed 142 appearances to reach 71 strikes.
Ronaldo, still on 70 Champions League strikes, is in action for Madrid at Basel on Wednesday
