His second goal was a fantastic strike from outside the box and saw the Argentinian break yet another Champions League record held by his arch-rival Cristiano Ronaldo.

Messi opened the scoring in the 19th minute before Kylian Mbappe scored to make it 2-0 in the 32nd minute. Neymar and Messi then extended PSG's tally to 4-1 before halftime.
