Lionel Messi scores brace to help Barcelona beat Spur

Lionel Messi scored twice as Barcelona beat Tottenham 4-2 in their UEFA Champions League match on Wednesday at Wembley.

Philip Continho opened the flood gate in the second minute before Ivan Rakitic slammed home the second in the 28th minute.

However, Tottenham came back after the interval like hungry lions and their efforts paid off when Harry Kane scored to reduce the deficit.

Barcelona reacted immediately with Messi finding the net after hitting the post twice, to help fend off Spurs’ comeback attempts.

Again, Erik Lamela pulled Tottenham back to within a goal few minutes later and are pressing for their third when Barca hit back with Messi showing so much composure to beat Hugo Lloris in the final minutes of the match.

Barcelona now have six points -same as Inter Milan- while PSV and Spur are still yet to get their first points.
