Un doblete del argentino Lionel Messi y otro de Philippe Coutinho le dio el triunfo 3-0 al Barcelona a las semifinales de la Liga de Campeones en el partido de vuelta de los cuartos de final contra el Manchester United en el Camp Nou.
Empezó mejor el equipo inglés, con un disparo claro de Marcus Rashford en el primer minuto escupido por el travesaño, pero el rumbo del encuentro lo cambió Messi con un zurdazo cruzado desde la frontal (min.16).
Cuatro minutos después, el ‘10’ azulgrana transformó con la diestra el segundo. El balón entró gracias a la inestimable ayuda del guardameta David de Gea, que no acertó al intentar capturar el balón.
