barcelona lionel messi


Lionel Messi claims Real Madrid record as the Champions League leading goal scorer. The Barcelona striker has 74 goals in 92 games, clearly surpassing Madrid Raul's 71 goals. AS chief columnist Alfredo Relano stated Real Madrid had always been the leading goal scorer from the start of the European Cup football. In the first year of the European Cup, second season, Yugoslavia's Milutinovic was the top goal scorer. Di Stefano topped at 49, and Raul pushed to 71. Messi has toppled the Madridista record indeed, Relano stated. Cristiano Ronaldo maintains 70 goals and he's hoped to return the record to Madrid in Wednesday's match at Basel.
