John Terry admits he could cause a rift at home when Chelsea face his kids' hero Lionel Messi in the Champions League semifinals.

Terry's five-year-old twins, Georgie and Summer, are proud owners of Messi shirts and the Barcelona forward has become almost as much of a idol to them as their own father.

Now Terry's children have to decide who to support when the Blues take on holders Barca in the semifinals later this month and the Chelsea captain knows he risks an ear-bashing when he gets back home if he kicks Messi during the matches.

Barcelona's Lionel Messi reached another milestone in his amazing career on Saturday when he became the first player to score 60 goals in a season in European top-flight soccer in almost 40 years.

The Argentine World Player of the Year netted twice in a 4-1 victory at Real Zaragoza to notch up 38 La Liga goals in the campaign and his 60th in all competitions.

Gerd Mueller was the last player to achieve the feat on the way to scoring 67 goals for Bayern Munich in the 1972-73 season and Messi has at least 10 more matches in which to break the German's record.

Messi put Barca 2-1 ahead with a powerful strike into the roof of the net shortly before halftime and also netted from the penalty spot in the closing stages at the Romareda.
