Lionel Messi finally scored against goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon as Barcelona beat Juventus 3-0 in their first match of the Champions League group stage on Tuesday.

Messi grabbed his 95th and 96th goals in the Champions League, breaking the deadlock just before the end of the first half. After he had hit the post and played a part in Ivan Rakitic’s second goal, Messi beat Buffon again to round off the commanding win.

Messi’s goals were his first ever against the 39-year-old Buffon, who had kept him without a goal in three previous meetings.

Juventus eliminated Barcelona from last year’s quarterfinals en route to losing the final to defending champion Real Madrid.
