Lionel Messi opened his account as a PSG player in a Champions League group stage tie by scoring a wonder goal as the Ligue 1 side downed Manchester City 2-0.

The goal against Pep Guardiola's Manchester City was Messi's seventh goal against the Cityzens in as many games. It was also his 27th goal against a Premier League club in 35 Champions League matches.

His first-ever goal against a Premier League club was against Manchester United in the 2008/09 Champions League final which Barcelona won 2-0. He had also scored in the 2010/11 Champions League final against Red Devils which the Catalan side won 4-1.

Out of the 27 goals, the Argentine star has scored the most number of goals, nine, against Arsenal in six encounters. The nine goals include a hat-trick (four goals in one match) and two braces. Other than Arsenal, another Premier League side against whom he has scored a hat-trick is Manchester City while playing for FC Barcelona during the 2016/17 Champions League campaign.
