Barca wins again but Messi falls short of Ronaldo's record (The Associated Press)

Lionel Messi opened the scoring in Barcelona's 4-0 win over Borussia Moenchengladbach on Tuesday, but fell short of matching Cristiano Ronaldo's goal record in the group stage of the Champions League. Messi struck his 10th group-stage goal this season, one less than the 11 netted by Ronaldo with Real Madrid last season to set the record. Arda Turan scored a hat trick for Barcelona, which had already secured first place in Group C. Moenchengladbach finished third and will play in the Europa League next season.
