Lionel Messi put on another magical display to fire Barcelona through to the Champions League last eight and, on this form, he could inspire his team to glory.
Messi is the man of the moment for sure, having recently netted his 600th career goal, as Barca dispatched Chelsea he scored his 99th and 100th in the Champions League. But there’s quite a choice for sports betting players. Barcelona has joined Manchester City, Real Madrid, Juventus and, after the second of tonight’s football games, Bayern Munich in the latter stages of Europe’s biggest prize.
Barcelona 3-0 (4-1 on agg.) Chelsea
Few at the Camp Nou doubted Barca would qualify after drawing the first leg in London, but any lingering worries were dispelled by half time. It only took three minutes for Messi to make his mark, squeezing the ball home from a tight angle, and Ousame Dembele doubled the lead on 20 minutes after Messi terrorised the Blues’ defence before feeding the forward for an easy conversion.
Messi scored his 100th Champions League goal on 63 minutes, collecting a pass from Luis Suarez before firing cleanly through Thibaut Courtois’ legs. The treble is really on for Messi and Barca.
Besiktas 1-3 (1-8 on agg.) Bayern Munich
Bayern set down a marker for the other Champions League big guns by adding to their five first leg goals with another three in Turkey. Thiago’s early strike was added to by a Gokhan Gonul own goal and Sandro Wagner made it three. Vagner Love gave the Turkish crowd something to cheer but Jupp Heynckes’ team looks formidable in this form and has lost just once in his 28 games in charge.
