There is no stopping Lionel Messi

Lionel Messi netted twice on Wednesday night as Barcelona run out comfortable 3-0 winners over Chelsea.

However, the Argentine’s first goal was actually the fastest he has scored in his career since debuting in the Champions League. Messi played a quick one-two with Luis Suarez before sliding the ball past Thibaut Courtois to hand Barca an early lead.

The goal came just 128 seconds into the game, representing the quickest Messi has scored in the competition.
