BR - Lionel Messi was it at again on Wednesday night—becoming the first player to score five in a Champions League match as Barcelona annihilated Bayer Leverkusen 7-1 at Camp Nou to ensure their place in the quarterfinals.
Messi now has 250 goals from his 378 appearances for Barcelona and Argentina, and a remarkable 52 goals in 54 games since last July. His haul of 12 in the 2011-12 Champions League is already tied for the season record he shares with Ruud van Nistelrooy.
