BARCELONA: Lionel Messi's  brilliant performance   put Barcelona to within touching distance of the Champions League final on Wednesday after hitting a smashing brace to beat Liverpool 3-0 at the Camp Nou.

Luis Suarez, former Liverpool striker, scored the first goal midway through the opening half of the semi-final first leg before Messi 's double  in second half  to leave the Reds with a mountain to climb in the tie despite an impressive performance in Catalonia.

Messi’s second, an incredible long-range free-kick, was his 600th Barca goal in all competitions.
