Every other week it seems like Lionel Messi is breaking a new record, with football fans accustomed to his otherworldly brilliance so much that it has somehow become normal.
Messi's career achievements include scoring an astonishing 91 goals for club and country in a calendar year (2012), scoring the all-time most goals in the top five European leagues with 419 and winning the most European Golden Shoe awards with six.
However, Champions League records have largely been dominated by Cristiano Ronaldo, who has the most goals (126) and assists (39) in the history of the competition, as well as the most competition wins by an individual, with five.
