IT’S NOT OVER YET, MESSI WARNS TEAMMATES AHEAD OF CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 2ND LEG

Lionel Messi warned his Barcelona teammates that their place in the Champions League final is
still not certain despite his two-goal salvo in a 3-0 semi-final first leg win over Liverpool on Wednesday.

“It would have been better to win 4-0 than 3-0 but it is a very good result,” said the Argentine star.

“It’s not definitive, we are going to go into a very complicated atmosphere, with a great history.”

Messi’s second goal was the 600th of his Barca career and he reached the landmark in stunning style, majestically curling a free-kick into the top corner.

“It was beautiful when it went in but I was lucky that the ball lodged up there in the corner.”
