Messi celebrates his goal against Arsenal, Barcelona V Arsenal on 6th April, 2010

The little wonder scored 4 goals to help Barcelona into the next round.

Messi shows his skills in front of goal once again, he scored all four goals for Barca. Arsenal opened up the scoring through Bendtnerin the 18th minute. However, from then on the Gunners had to comply with ‘the Messi’ force.

Messi truly had an amazing match, his player rating would surely be 10. Messi scored the first with a left footer, the second with awesome control with his right foot, chipped the third in audaciously to complete his fourth hat-trick of the season.  He later scored his fourth near the end of the game after having his initial shot blocked by Almunia; the Argentina international then raced to get the ball back before burying the ball into the back of the net through Almunia’s legs.
