Messi's four goals sends Barca through into the Champions League Semi-final

Barcelona are through into the semifinals of the Champions League after Lionel Messi’s four goals gave them a 4-1 victory over Arsenal at Nou Camp on Tuesday night, 6-3 on aggregate.


 Arsenal without Cesc Fabregas, Andrey Arshavin, Alex Song and William Gallas due to injuries, were outplayed in almost all 90 minutes despite Bendtner early strike that broke deadlock amid crowd of 93,000.00 after he grabbed  a good pass from Theo Walcott.

Messi scored all four goals for Barcelona to send a warning to Jose Mourinho as they prepare to meet in semifinals after the Italian’s side also defeated CSKA Moscow 1-0 on the same night.

 Meanwhile Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger have so far wished Barcelona good luck for their qualification and admitted that Messi is a player who can make a difference at moment.

 “First I want to congratulate Barcelona and wish them good luck. They over the two games they deserved to qualify. They are a very good side but of course they have Messi who can make a difference at any moment in the game. He can take advantage of every mistake we make," said Wenger in a press conference.

The manager also admitted that his team were punished because of the defensive mistakes despite starting strong.

"I believe we played quite well. We started strong, had a good opportunity to score the second goal and were a bit unlucky because we had a good chance when Bendtner was not offside. The regret I have is that we made too many mistakes defensively for a game like that. They were always first on the ball and we were punished for it," said Wenger.
