Lionel Messi Says Barcelona Were 'Spectacular' in UCL Win over Manchester United

Lionel Messi labelled Barcelona "spectacular" following their win over Manchester United in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday.

The Blaugrana backed up their 1-0 win at Old Trafford with a 3-0 success at the Camp Nou, with Messi on the scoresheet twice in the first period and Philippe Coutinho making the game safe after the break.

The win means Barcelona progress into the semi-finals, where they will face either Liverpool or Porto. After the victory over United, Messi praised the team, per Marca.

"It was spectacular," said the forward.
