The Argentina superstar had been level with Ronaldo, but lit up Camp Nou with an incredible performance in Tuesday's Group B encounter .

Barca had struggled for the opening half hour, but a vintage Messi free-kick broke the deadlock.

After a wonderful individual effort from Ousmane Dembele, Messi scored twice in the final 13 minutes, which also saw Samuel Umtiti sent off.
