The supporters at the Camp Nou witnessed Lionel Messi's 99th and 100th Champions League goals during Wednesday night's 3-0 victory over Chelsea and the player spoke of his joy after the match.

He explained that he is delighted to have reached triple figures, while he also analysed the match.

"I'm happy to have reached 100 goals in such a beautiful competition, but the important thing was to move forward in a difficult match against a team with lots of really good players," he said in a surprise media appearance with UEFA.

"We managed to score early and this was important.

"I'm happy with how it all happened. "This was a tough match and we were strong as a team.

"When we scored the third then the tie was practically ours."

When told that Antonio Conte had praised him in his press conference, Messi had some words of thanks for the Italian coach.

"I didn't hear him, but they told me what he said and I thank him for his words," the No.10 said. "I am happy for how this night has ended and for reaching the quarter-finals, which is what we wanted."

Next up for Messi and his teammates is Sunday's match against Athletic Club, before an international break.
