Messi targets another record

 Lionel Messi has targeted breaking Real Madrid icon Raul's Champions League goalscoring record but added that winning trophies remains his main objective.

The Argentina international netted a hat-trick in Barcelona's 4-0 Champions League win over Ajax on Wednesday to take his tally to 62, leaving him just nine shy of Raul's haul of 71.

"The idea of overtaking Raul at the top of the all-time Champions League scoring charts is a fine challenge," Messi was quoted as saying on the official Uefa website.

"It is not essential, though. We, as a team, have other more important objectives. For example, to get as far as we are capable of in this competition. To try to win it again.

"Obviously I am pleased that my hat-trick makes it 62 Champions League goals but above that is the result and how our team played.

"Whether the right number of goals come for me this season or not is less important."

Matri : We want to win tonight for Kaka

AC Milan striker Alessandro Matri is determined to beat Celtic on Wednesday as he aims to give the injured Kaka a much-needed morale boost.

The attacking midfielder, who returned to Milan this summer after four years at Real Madrid, will be out of action for up to four weeks due to a hamstring problem and Matri is determined to give the Brazilian something to cheer in their Champions League opener.

"I send my best wishes to Kaka. He's a great player and extremely important for our team," the attacker said at a press conference.

"I have a good history with Celtic. I hope history repeats itself and we get the three points," he added.

"They’re a strong team that have been playing together for a long time. We’ll have to play our own game and with the help of the fans we want to get started in the best way we can."

Wednesday's match is scheduled to kick off at San Siro at 20:45CET.
