Lionel Messi scored his 11th and 12th goals of this season's UEFA Champions League to help favourites Barcelona beat Liverpool 3-0 in the first leg of the semi-final at the Camp Nou on Wednesday.
Messi scored twice in the second half, including a stunning free-kick that marked his 600th goal for the club.
He found the net on a night when ex-Reds striker Luis Suarez finally opened his account in this season's competition. Their goals helped the Blaugrana build a commanding aggregate lead ahead of the return fixture at Anfield on Tuesday, May 7, a lead which has cemented Barca's status as favourites with the oddsmakers.
