Twitter reacts to Lionel Messi's masterclass in Barcelona's 2-0 win against Celtic

The dazzling Lionel Messi returned from illness to score yet another double to help Barcelona ease into the knockout stages of the Champions League for a 13th successive year with their 2-0 win at Celtic on Wednesday.

The brace took Messi's Champions League total to 92 goals, including nine in this season's group stages alone, and though he narrowly missed a hat-trick, his genius ensured Celtic exited all European competition while Barca will progress as group winners.

Here are the best tweets, GIFS and pictures from last night’s mesmerising Messi performance
