Messi was on target as they thrashed Ferencvaros 5-1 on Tuesday night.

The 33-year-old converted from the penalty spot after being fouled in the area in the first half.

Messi is only the second player to score in 16 Champions League seasons overall, along with Manchester United’s Ryan Giggs.

“Barcelona captain, Lionel Messi, has become the first player to score in 16 straight Champions League campaigns.”

Ansu Fati added a goal just before half-time, to give the LaLiga side a comfortable lead at Camp Nou.

Fati made history of his own with the goal, becoming the first player to ever score more than once in the Champions League before his 18th birthday.

There were further goals from Philippe Coutinho, Pedri and Ousmane Dembele after the break.

Reacting to the shootings, Ighalo in a video shared via his Twitter page, described the Nigerian government as a ‘shame to the world’ over the killing of unarmed protesters at the Lekki toll gate.

He also said that the Muhammadu Buhari-led administration will be remembered in history as the first government that sent military officials to kill its citizens.

“Manchester United striker, Odion Ighalo has condemned the Nigerian government over the killing of unarmed End SARS protesters at Lekki toll gate on Tuesday in Lagos.”

“Sending the military to the streets to kill unharmful protesters because they are protesting for their right is uncalled for.

“Today, 20th of October 2020, you will be remembered in history as the first government that sent the military to kill its citizens.

“I’m ashamed of you guys, we’re tired of you guys and can’t take this anymore,” he said.
