Barcelona 7-1 Bayer Leverkusen

Lionel Messi helped himself to a record-breaking five goals and substitute Tell bagged a brace as Barcelona sauntered into the quarter finals of the Champions League with a 7-1 win on the night (10-2 on aggregate) against Bayer Leverkusen.

It was a little bit of a shaky from Barcelona but they quickly found their touch and dominated play more and more as the match progressed.

Lionel Messi became the first player to score five goals in a Champions League fixture and the Argentine has now scored 53 goals in 49 games for club and country this season, moving him to within seven goals of becoming the club’s record scorer.

Cesar Rodriguez struck 235 times during a 13-year stint at the Nou Camp but Messi looks set to beat that record before his 25th birthday. He has now scored 228 goals in 311 appearances for his club.
