3-0 and Barca in control of a CL semi-final due to the genius that is Lionel Messi!! - 0762 - 01-05-2019
Watching Liverpool's sterling efforts in Spain tonight in the second CL semi-final and yet lucky not to come out of the Nou Camp on a 5-1 or 6-1 hiding!! And as for Messi with that wonderful 3rd goal? He placed the ball down like a meticulous golfer and then whacked it in the top corner from 35 yards - a genius at striking a dead ball! Also how Dembele missed that "sitter" in the dying secs of the match is beyond me and Messi as well, who "set it up on a plate" for a poss 4-0 score line!! Job well done considering Liverpool "marked him up" fairly well.
Here is a very good bbc report on the great Lionel Messi and his "pivotal role" in this match.
