Lionel Messi scored and had two assists, while breaking one of Cristiano Ronaldo’s records, in Barcelona’s 3-1 win against Borussia Dortmund at the 2019-2020 UEFA Champions League.
Messi scored in the 33rd minute of the victory Wednesday at Camp Nou in Barcelona.
The goal came against his 34th opponent in the competition, passing Ronaldo’s former mark of 33 teams scored against. Messi now has 613 goals in 700 games for Barcelona.

“I think it was a complete performance,” Barcelona manager Ernesto Valverde told reporters. “We tried to dominate the game right from the start by putting on the pressure.”
Barcelona’s picturesque first score began with Luis Suarez receiving a pass about 30 yards from the goal. Suarez used his first touch to tap a pass forward into the box. The pass was deflected back out to Messi, who used his first touch to give the ball back to Suarez.
The Barcelona striker then finished with a shot past Dortmund keeper Roman Burki in the 29th minute.
