#1 Hit: Lionel Messi
Barcelona talisman Lionel Messi has once again pulled off another man of the match performance when his team needed him the most.
Trending
It was Messi who opened the scoring for Barcelona with just 16 minutes on the clock and made the first dent at Manchester United’s hope of making a historic comeback.
Then again Messi doubled the lead and put the tie to bed. With two goals last night, Messi has now scored a staggering amount of 24 goals in just 32 appearances against the English sides in the UEFA Champions League.
Messi is also the top scorer of this year’s UEFA Champions League with 10 goals in just 8 appearances for the five-time European Champions.
Another Messi masterclass ensured Barcelona to secure the semi-final berth where they will face either Liverpool or Porto, but with Messi in this kind of mood, Barcelona fans now can dream of lifting the UEFA Champions League for the first time in the last 3 years.
