#1 Another match, another Leo Messi record
A match where FC Barcelona had to labour until the 60th minute to register a goal by one of their own players, Lionel dazzled for the Catalans in the second half to win 3-0 against Olympiakos.
Scoring the second goal of the night, Messi scored a superb freekick to bag his 100th career goal in European competition. He becomes the second player in the history to achieve this feat after Cristiano Ronaldo. But Messi has scored 100 in 122 games whereas Ronaldo took 143 matches to reach the three-figure mark.
Out of 100, 97 of Messi's European goals have come in the Champions League whereas the remaining three have been scored in the UEFA Super Cup. 82 of those have been scored from the left foot whereas 14 from his weaker right foot. The 100 goals include 4 headed goals, 11 penalties and 5 free kicks. Also, as many as 16 have been scored by the 'Messiah' from outside the box.
With a goal against Olympiakos, Messi has taken his tally to 15 this season with "Messidependencia" being prevalent more than ever at FC Barcelona.
