Leo Messi chalks yet another remarkable feat in the Champions League with his latest strike

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that the battle to be the best between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi continues.

The duo are arguably the greatest of all time, and have achieved many feats and broken many records on the football field.

With Cristiano Ronaldo not competing in the Champions League this season, Messi is taking full advantage of his rival’s absence to further cement his place in history.
