Benfica vs PSG: Messi sets new Champions League record

Messi

Paris Saint-Germain forward, Lionel Messi, set yet another record as they were held to a 1-1 draw at Benfica on Wednesday.

Messi opened the scoring in the first half with a trademark curling left-foot finish from the edge of the box.

The goal meant the 35-year-old became the first player in Champions League history to score goals against 40 different opponents.

The hosts levelled four minutes before the break, when an inviting in-swinging cross from Enzo Fernandez touched off PSG defender Danilo and into the net.

The result means PSG and Benfica remain level on points at the top of Group H after three matches.
