The fastest goal in Messi's career
When he is playing, everything else loses importance. Lionel Messi once again gave the crowd at the Camp Nou something to cheer about, scoring what is so far the fastest goal in his career.
It was not the first time Lionel Messi had scored after just two minutes, but his low strike from an acute angle that slid through Thibaut Courtois' legs became the fastest in his career to date.
It took him 129 seconds to turn the tie into an uphill battle for Chelsea with his 33rd goal of the season. In the past, he had managed to score after 156 seconds.
It was in August 2010 when Messi beat Racing Santander early on, but his goal in the Champions League last 16 second leg shattered his previous record.
Not content with that, he then assisted Ousmane Dembele to make it 2-0 to Barcelona after a dream start.
