Messi and his record against Chelsea has been a major talking point in the football world since a brief period of time.

However, that is not the case anymore as he scored three goals against the Londoners during Barcelona's Round of 16 clash against them.

His first came as Iniesta made the most of Christensen's error and set him up for a brilliant finish at the Stamford Bridge in the first leg itself.

The Catalan scored,a brace at the Camp Nou. both times firing between Thibaut Courtois' legs.

Fans went crazy to see their "Messi-ah" finally breaking his duck against the Blues and playing a pivotal role in the club's victory.

He achieved another feat as the Argentine now has a total of 100 Champions League goals and is the second player to cross the 100 goal mark after Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo.
