Benfica 1-1 PSG(HT): Lionel Messi Breaks UCL Record With His First Half Goal Against Benfica...CONTINUE READING
The PSG big three combine once again, as Messi lays off Mbappe, who finds Neymar, and he tees up Messi to curl a beauty of a shot into the top corner. PSG led 1-0 in their first real chance in a game dominated by Benfica.
But Benfica get their just reward when Fernandez curls a teasing cross into the six-yard box, and it sails all the way into the far corner of the net. Highly rated Goncalo Ramos was the target, but it’s Danilo who gets the last touch, and that PSG own goal locks the game up at 1-1.
Lionel Messi has now scored in 6 straight games in all competitions for club and country, and it’s his longest such streak since December 2018-February 2019. However, Benfica is the 40th club against which Lionel Messi has scored a UCL goal, a competition record.
With the first half strike, Messi now has 127 goals in this competition
