His second goal wasn’t bad either.
Impressive form
Barcelona has scored 11 goals in its last two matches combined. That bodes well for the club, because if it can do it in its next game, it will have a shot to move on.
Up next is the Champions League Round of 16 clash with PSG. Barca lost the first leg 4-0 so has to score at least four in that one to have a chance.
Player of the match
Messi, who had two goals and two assists on the night. Want to know just how good he was when it came to giving assists? Look at this assist here, and watch his run to get the ball.
