It was the Lionel MESSI show in London at Wembley as FC Barcelona won 4-2 against Mauricio POCHETTINO’s Tottenham. MESSI was in spectacular fashion and every where on the pitch for Barcelona. He played a massive part in two of the four goals while scoring the other two.

For Barcelona’s opening goal, MESSI played a ball from deep in midfield which cut through the Tottenham back line to find Jordi ALBA. France’s World Cup captain Hugo LLORIS came out but ALBA passed the ball to COUTINHO who scored.

The second goal was MESSI sending in another perfectly weighted ball into the area and it eventually found Croatia’s Ivan RAKITIC who scored arguably the goal of the Champions League season.

As for MESSI’s two goals, the first one was a genius goal. He started it and finished it. A low pass sent in as Luis SUAREZ let it roll in between his legs and MESSI passed the ball into the net for Barcelona’s third goal.

Barcelona’s fourth came right before full time as MESSI received the ball with a lot of time in the penalty area and a predator like finish scored the insurance goal.

There was one more Argentine player who scored in the match but for Tottenham. Erik LAMELA scored the second goal for his team, a great one at that from just outside of the penalty area. LAMELA received the ball on the edge of the area and beat the German goalkeeper to score his first of the Champions League season.

Sergio AGUERO scored goal number 8 of the season in Manchester City’s 2-1 win against Hoffenheim in the Champions League.

It wasn’t the best of starts for Pep GUARDIOLA’s City as they let in a goal in the first minute. Luckily for Pep and his team, they have Sergio AGUERO as the striker scored just six minutes later. Leroy SANE received the ball inside the penalty area and pulled it back to AGUERO who controlled it, avoided the challenge and scored.

Impressive numbers for AGUERO this season.

Paulo DYBALA scored a hat trick for Juventus in the Champions League.

With no Cristiano in the line-up, Paulo DYBALA was in the starting eleven and scored three times for Juventus in their 3-0 win against Young Boys. It was three very different finishes from the Argentina man.

The first one qas a lovely first time finish off a cross by BONUCCI and DYBALA made it look easy as he gave Juventus the 1-0 lead.

DYBALA added a second goal, this time easier than the first one as he pounced onto the rebound to make it 2-0 for Juventus.

And the third goal was the easiest as it was a number 9 like finish, a predator inside the area, DYBALA scored from just in front of goal.
