Lionel Messi finally beat Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon in the Champions League on Tuesday after producing an incisive one-two with teammate Luis Suarez.
The Argentinian superstar made something out of nothing in the waning seconds of the opening half to register his first goal against the veteran shot-stopper.
Buffon had stymied Messi in three previous attempts, but in this case, the fourth time's the charm.
