The Wizard of Barcelona cast a spell over Wembley, and his second half goal began etching Barcelona’s name on the 2011 Champions League trophy. Man of the Match Lionel Messi was in a league of his own.
After a quiet twenty minutes, Messi and his giants from Barca woke up.
He was at his elusive best, dipping and diving through a bamboozled Red Devils’ defence.
It came to a head in the second half, when he slotted a trademark left-footer passed Edwin Van der Sar.
It was a performance befitting the hype, and surely one that begs the question: is Lionel Messi one of the best of all time?
Watch the highlights of Messi carry the Champions League Trophy as only he can do on and off the pitch.
