The Dhaka Times Desk Messi is focused on breaking Raul Gonzalez's record of 71 goals in the Champions League. He said this in a press conference yesterday. He also said that "of course I want to do this record, but I want to own this record with the victory of Barca, my main goal is to regain the league title."
Against Ajax last Wednesday Messi's hat-trick Barcelona won 4-0. Meanwhile, Messi's total number of goals in the Champions League stands at 62 thanks to the hat trick. Messi is only 9 goals behind former Real Madrid player Raul Gonzales. Raul's total number of goals is 71.
"It would be great to break Raul's record," Messi told UEFA's official website yesterday. Because that will put my name on top of the Champions League record books, and that's what any player wants."
"Of course it is not very important, for me team success has always been paramount. So winning the Champions League title is our main goal. And if we can do it, let's hope that the record for the highest goal will also be done!
"I'm very happy with my latest hat-trick, more than that we played well as a team that day." Although many may disagree with Messi's statement, because if Victor Valdez didn't make some amazing saves that day, Barcelona would have conceded a few goals. The weakness of Barca's defense was well exposed in that match.
However, Messi is very happy to be ranked fourth in the list of goalscorers after playing only 83 matches.
