Arsenal’s hopes of qualifying for the quarter-finals of the Champions League were left hanging by a thread on Tuesday evening.
Lionel Messi scored twice in the final 20 minutes to ensure a 2-0 loss in the last 16’s first-leg and a body blow to Arsene Wenger’s side.
Messi finally got the better of Petr Cech after waiting years to net past him and he did so in style as just like London buses two goals came in one match.
Cech was shown being floored by the brilliance of the Ballon d’Or winner as supporters on social media wasted no time in rubbing salt into Arsenal’s wounds as they look set to fall at the last 16 hurdle in Europe again.
A blistering counter-attack for Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar was always on the cards but it didn’t stop it sending shockwaves through Twitter when the first goal hit the back of the net.
