Messi Sets Champions League

Messi sets Champions League Lionel Messi added the Champions League career scoring record to the La Liga mark he set last weekend, getting his 28th Barcelona hat trick in a 4-0 win Tuesday night at APOEL Nicosia. Sergio Aguero scored three goals — including the winner in stoppage time — to lead Manchester City over Bayern Munich 3-2 and preserve the English champions’ hopes of advancing. Messi, 27, scored in the 38th, 58th and 87th minutes — all with his weaker right foot — to give him 74 goals in 91 matches in Europe’s top club competition and 17 goals in 17 games overall this season. The International Olympic Committee has corrected the standings of the competition to show that the American sibling team of Vivian Joseph and Ronald Joseph as the bronze medalists. In 1966, the IOC awarded the Josephs the bronze medal after declaring that the West German pair Marika Kilius and Hans-Jurgen Baumler had violated their amateur status by signing a professional contract. With the West Germans stripped of their silver medal, all but the gold medalists moved up one placement. Morgan Lamri, a 22-year-old French chair umpire on the futures and challenger tours, became the first official to be suspended for corruption by the Tennis Integrity Unit when he received a life ban.
