While representing FC Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League competition, Lionel Messi has been known for tormenting numerous clubs, using them to set new landmark.
Wednesday’s match between PSG and Benfica at the EstΓ‘dio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica ended in a 1-1 tie, and the 35-year-old displayed a stunning performance.
Although Benfica had few opportunities to score early, the feeling in PSG’s locker room will undoubtedly be that two points were lost rather than one.
Messi gave all in his capacity to find ways to make it three points, but PSG ended up heading back home with a point thanks to his first-half equalizer.
In the second half, PSG placed everything they had at the home team, and Vlachodimos was called upon repeatedly to step up and stop the French team at every turn.
Lionel Messi became the only player to score against 40 different opponents In the Champions League.
Benfica is not just the newest team that Messi has scored against, but it also highlights how significant he is.
The former Barca star completed all seven of the duels he attempted, winning five of them by dribbling, and concluded the game with two shoots, one of which was denied, three crucial passes, and two effective crosses.
Additionally, he controlled the ball twice in the last third and made 25 passes in that area, giving his teammates three scoring opportunities.
The two teams’ standings in Group H are unchanged as a result of the shared points, with PSG continuing to lead due to their extra goal.
Halfway through the group stage, both teams will be confident that they can advance to the knockout rounds as they are four points ahead of Juventus, who have only recently picked up their first victory of the competition.
