#1 Most Goals in a UEFA Champions League Match
On 7th March 2012, Bayern 04 Leverkusen travelled to Camp Nou to face Barcelona in the Champions League in the second leg of the round of sixteen. The Germans had lost the first leg 3-1 at home, but were high from their weekend win over Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga and were hoping for a miracle.

A miracle was destined, but unfortunately for them, they could only watch in awe, because the night belonged to Lionel Messi.
Early in the first half, Messi received a ball from Xavi and displayed a delightful lob over the onrushing goalkeeper to open the scoring. The Argentinean doubled the lead in the first half itself, with some cute dribbles and a low shot.
Messi completed his hattrick with a right-footed lob from a Fabregas pass and went on to score 2 more as Barcelona won the game 7-1.
Lionel Messi scored 5 goals on the night, the first player to do so. Luis Adriano has since equalled the record while playing for Shakhtar Donetsk against BATE Borisov in 2014.
