Lionel Messi: FC Barcelona captain makes further UEFA Champions League history

FC Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi made further UEFA Champions League history after leading the Spanish giants to the summit of Group F on Wednesday evening.

Messi's third-minute strike and an own-goal from Nigeria striker Peter Olayinka handed Barcelona a 2-1 victory over Slavia Prague.

Despite the unconvincing victory, Messi made history as the first player to score in 15 consecutive seasons of the competition - while extending his group stage scoring record over Cristiano Ronaldo.

Victory for Ernesto Valverde's men moved them on to seven points from three European fixtures and above Borussia Dortmund in the table following the German club's 2-0 loss to Inter Milan at the San Siro.
