Barcelona vs Borussia Dortmund, player ratings: Lionel Messi runs Champions League show

Lionel Messi celebrates scoring Barcelona's second goal ( Getty )

Barcelona and Lionel Messi proved too much for Borussia Dortmund as the hosts cruised to victory at the Nou Camp. 

Messi scored one goal and assisted the other two for Luis Suarez and substitute Antoine Griezmann as Barca racked up three, before Jadon Sancho's brilliant late reply made it 3-1. 

The victory means Barcelona secured their place in the last 16 of the Champions League, while Dortmund have it all to play for.

Dortmund will play Slavia Prague in their final group game while Inter Milan, who are now level with the German team on seven points, face Barcelona. 

Should Inter and Dortmund finish on the same points, Inter will progress courtesy of their better head-to-head record. 

Take a look through the gallery to see how every player rated.
