Goalkeeper Silvio Proto got a hand on the ball but could not keep it out as Messi took
his career tally in the Champions League to 97 goals.
Had Ronaldo begun playing in Spain at the same time as Messi, the Portugal star would most likely have far outpaced

Even looking only at his time in the Bundesliga, Serie A, La Liga and the Europa League (to try to provide a fair comparison of the level he will be faced with at Anfield) reveals he has scored a goal or provided an assist every 102 minutes, so it's not as if he has filled his boots at lower levels in order to boost
his career tally particularly.
With her nod for Florence Foster Jenkins, Meryl Streep brings
her career tally to 20 nominations — eight more than any other actor.
Following a campaign that saw him win nine races to bring
his career tally to 62 (second only to Michael Schumacher's 91) and claim his 72nd pole position — the all - time record ahead of Schumacher's 68 and the late Ayrton Senna's 65 — it's a bit incongruous to see Hamilton hanging around this small desert airfield 145 miles northeast of Los Angeles.
