The Camp Nou erupted and sang his praises for a second time Wednesday night after the Argentine doubled Barcelona's lead with an absolutely filthy goal after humiliating Bayern Munich centre-back Jerome Boateng.
Messi used his world-class dribbling skills to draw Boateng in before a quick change of direction left the Bayern defender on his backside.
All that was left to do was to beat Manuel Neuer, widely recognised as the world's best 'keeper. Obviously not an easy feat for most.
Messi, however, dared to pull off a shot few would ever consider against Neuer, as he calmly chipped the ball over the German to make it 2-0 Barcelona in the closing minutes of the first leg.
