Champions League Betting: Messi masterclass sees Liverpool at 10/1 to overcome Barcelona

Lionel Messi reached 600 goals for Barcelona in style and gave the Catalan giants a commanding lead in their Champions League clash with Liverpool.

The landmark strike came 14 years to the day since the 31-year-old opened his account for the club against Albacete. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner has now scored 26 goals against English clubs in this competition - 14 more than any other player.

Luis Suarez opened the scoring against his former side before a second half double from the Argentina international secured a 3-0 win for Ernesto Valverde's side at the Camp Nou.
