Messi: "We did everything well, played better than two weeks ago against them, but the ball didn't go in. Still first, two more games now."

Messi: "In the end, the goal didn't mean anything, game was already lost. There are enough games left to dedicate goals to Thiago."

In other news,

With 25 goals, Messi surpases Van Nistelrooy and become the player with most goals ever in CL away games. #Barcastuff

Messi on the wing = a whole new ballgame. He should hang out there more often.

I think he is very good in the middle. He can play the role of a playmaker. I think he played well. He should just work on his finishing. He was the most dangerous player on the pitch.

 

[kroki223]

The team gets more if he is in the middle. He is much more as a winger.

It was nice to see messi on the wing again after moving to false 9 a few years ago.
There is no point in him staying in the center getting locked by 4 players.

this picture sums up the whole night ...he wasn't even really celebrating the goal, because he knew it was too late

 

[Galning]

Not really, we created lots of chances but just didn't score. Celtic on the other hand..
Still, it's just a group game so no worries

Did more damage from the right flank than in his regular position, might be a new tactic versus buses.

Still want to see more dribbles from him and more shooting from outside the penalty area. He tried at least, which can't be said for some.

How is he supposed to shoot when everytime het tries to get in for the shot they jump on him with 4 guys tring to block? he barely has any space for it.

Saddest goal celebration ever. I think no one here imagined that the celebration for Thiago would look like that. Good game overall.

So some barça players are free to shoot. Why don´t they? :S

It was the first game ever in which Messi scored and Barcelona lost a Champions League game. So at least he's dedicating a historic goal to his son.
