JAKARTA - Lionel Messi has become the most productive player in Europe's top five leagues for the 2022/2023 season. He has scored double figures in goals and assists for his club this season.
The latest record was made by Messi when he led Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to beat Maccabi Haifa 7-2 in the fifth matchday of Group H of the European Champions League on Wednesday morning yesterday.
In that match, the player nicknamed La Pulga managed to score two goals and provide two assists. This brings him to a total of 11 goals and 12 assists in 16 games in all competitions this season.
Another player who came closest to that record was Cody Gakpo of PSV Eindhoven. The Dutch national team player who operates on the wing has scored 12 goals and provided 10 assists.
Apart from being the most productive player, Messi also carved out two records at once in the match against Maccabi. He became the oldest player in the history of the competition to score two goals and two assists at the age of 35 years and 123 days.
In addition, the former Barcelona player is also now the player who has scored the most goals from outside the box of any player in the history of the competition. For a while, he is now one goal ahead of his rival Cristiano Ronaldo.
In total, the former Barcelona player has scored 23 goals from outside the box during his career in the European Champions League. This record is calculated since Messi made his debut with Barcelona in the competition in the 2004/05 season.
