Lionel Messi scored one of the best free-kicks of his glittering career as Barcelona opened up a seemingly unassailable 3-0 lead against Liverpool in their Champions League semi-final first leg.
Luis Suarez had earlier scored against his former team at the Camp Nou to hand Barcelona the initiative in the first leg of this last four match.
And, with time running out, Messi scored a scrappy rebound to put Barcelona in complete control of the tie.
But just a few moments later, the Barcelona captain scored a sensational goal as Barcelona put one foot in the final of the Champions League.
After Fabinho brought down Luis Suarez from 35-yards out, Messi stepped up and curled home an unstoppable free-kick, which flew past Alisson into the very top corner of Alisson’s goal.
