Cornet matches Messi’s Champions League feat against Manchester City

Lyon’s Maxwel Cornet has matched Lionel Messi’s Champions League goal record against Manchester City thanks to his strike against the Citizens on Saturday night.

It was a miserable evening for the English club as they suffered a shock 3-1 defeat to the French club – which ended their European ambition.

The Cote d’Ivoire international gave Lyon a 24th minute lead in a fierce quarter-final clash inside Lisbon’s Estadio Jose Alvalade.
