Liverpool wanted the ‘away-goal’

A very open and exciting encounter between two 5-time winners of the competition, and a Lionel Messi brace decided it for Barcelona. Barcelona’s unbeaten home record is extended to 32 games.

Lionel Messi scored club goal numbers 599 and 600 in the final 15 minutes of the regulation time to help guide Barcelona to a first-leg home victory against Liverpool.

Both teams came into the game with attacking intent but the chase for the ‘away-goals’ might have given Liverpool more intent.

Messi has now scored 26 goals in 33 games against English opponents – more than against teams from any other country.
