Arsenal saw their Champions League hopes dashed on Tuesday as a Lionel Messi masterclass inspired Barcelona to a 4-1 win at the Camp Nou.
Nicklas Bendtner's goal briefly gave Arsenal the lead for the first time in the tie, but hopes of an improbable upset in the second leg were whisked away by Messi's 21-minute first-half hat-trick of astonishing quality.
Fittingly, it was Messi who had the final word on the match with his fourth in the closing moments, leaving all who witnessed the match left with no option but to salute his amazing talent.
