He makes the difference in every game – Iniesta hails Messi

Barcelona won last’s round-of-16 second leg 3-0, meaning Chelsea were eliminated 4-1 on aggregate.

Messi’s first two shots of the night resulted in goals, while he used his vision and reading of the game to find Ousmane Dembele for the Frenchman’s first Barcelona goal.

It is also claimed they shouted ‘Madridistas son’s of b*****’ towards the Spaniard.

Giroud appeared to be brought down by Pique in the area but referee Damir Skomina did not bow to Chelsea’s protests for a penalty, before Messi drove at the defence again and slotted home Barcelona’s third in the 62nd minute, shooting low between Courtois’ legs for the second time.

After a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge, Barcelona upped their game at the Camp Nou which left many Chelsea supporters unhappy with the performance on the night. If you make it 2-1, you can put a bit of pressure on Barcelona.

“Fortune turned its back on us and I don’t think the result was fair tonight as we created many chances to score, but they were clinical on the counter with three goals”. We are talking about a player (Messi) that every season he scores 60 goals.

“I don’t think we deserve to be out, but individual mistakes cost us in both legs”, the Belgium global told BT Sport.

Barca will discover their Champions League quarter-final opponent Friday, with Real Madrid, Juventus, Bayern Munich, Manchester City, Liverpool, Sevilla and Roma joining Catalans in the final eight. “Chelsea can do better, but the team is growing”, Antonio Conte added.

“We’re talking about an impossible situation”.

“Obviously on both matches, I regret the posts or bars that we could have. I’m not thinking of a Barcelona without Andres Iniesta because right now we have a Barcelona with Andres Iniesta”.

“I am very pleased to have the opportunity at the end of the game to give him my complement”.

“But the important thing was to move forward in a hard match against a team with lots of really good players”.

“As I said there in the press conference, we had to make a ideal game, without errors”. We have to move on, work hard and continue’. Not just Ferdinand other pundits were also in awe of the Argentine ace who proved too good for Chelsea backline. I have to praise the commitment of my players.
