Lionel Messi struck twice for Barcelona in their 3-0 defeat of Bayern Munich in the first-leg of their Champions League semi.

Messi's late brace ensured it was a miserable return to the Nou Camp for Pep Guardiola.

Going into the game Guardiola admitted Messi was "just too good" to be stopped and so it proved as the Argentinian ace, who was quiet for long periods, burst into life to give Luis Enrique's side the advantage before Neymar twisted the knife to make it 3-0 at the death.

"In the last 15 minutes we won the game but not the tie," said Barca coach Luis Enrique after "an impressive result … But in Munich we will not be speculating with the result. Getting into the Champions League final is a very big prize and I am sure that the team will take the second leg as responsibly as they should."
