Lionel Messi starred on Wednesday night in the Uefa Champions League to inspire Barcelona to defeat Juventus 2-0 in Turin in the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo who is battling the Coronavirus disease.
The Argentine forward started for Ronald Koeman’s team at the Allianz Stadium in Italy yesterday when the Spanish side traveled to face off with the Serie A giants in a Group G encounter of the Uefa Champions League.
In what appeared to be the best game of Barcelona under the new manager, Lionel Messi produced a magical performance on the night.
Not only did the skilled forward dictate the game for the Catalans, but he also scored from the penalty spot in added time to seal a big 2-0 win for his team at the end of the 90 minutes.
With 90 minutes on the Matchday, Lionel Messi bowed out with 1 goal and 1 assist while earning a rating of 8.7 from Modernghana Sports partners SofaScore.
On the night, French winger Ousmane Dembele scored in the 14th minute with the help of a deflection that left Juventus goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny helpless to give Barcelona the lead.
Although Alvaro Morata put the ball in the back of the net 3 times, Juventus was denied a goal on all occasions with the VAR ruling for offside in every situation.
