In the second leg of the quarter final between Arsenal and Barcelona , the footballing world would see a 22 year old striker Lionel Messi was responsible for changing the course of the game, as Nicklas Bendtner scored the opening goal in the 19th minute. But then it was all Messi He became the fifth footballer in champion league history to score four goals in a single champion league game.
After Simone Inzaghi,Marco Van Basten, Andrei Shevchenko and Ruud Van Nistelrooy.
But here we must remember Messi may be the heart, but Xavi Hernandez is the lungs and the brains of Barcelona. Let us have a look Xavi had made a total of 105 passes in the arsenal game , out of which 90 percent of them were accurate passes, you guess to who? It was mostly to Messi.
Arsene Wenger said that nobody on this planet could have stopped Messi that day, he was like a playstation.And paid great heaps of praise on the little genuis Messi.
