Barcelona Captain, Lionel Messi,
put the team on the verge of Champions League final by scoring twice in a 3-0
home win over Liverpool in Wednesday’s semi-final first leg encounter.
His brace took his goal tally for
the Catalans to a remarkable 600 in the process.
Former Liverpool striker, Luis
Suarez, reminded the visitors of his clinical finishing by splitting a tense
and finely-balanced game at the Nou Camp in the 26th minute.
However, Liverpool went on to
carve out a number of chances, but spurned them all.
Messi scored the all-important
second goal of the night in the 75th minute, chesting the ball down on the
rebound and dribbling it over the line.
It followed Suarez’s effort which
hammered the crossbar with a shot, with his knee.
The Argentine then added to
Barca’s already huge advantage to take into next Tuesday’s second leg at
Anfield by scoring his milestone goal in style.
