FC Barcelona

This is a big blow to the Argentine prodigy and the FC Barcelona. Messi, crying out in the lawn of the Camp Nou in the 38th minute, replaced by Thierry Henry, suffered a fracture of the left femoral biceps of his left thigh. His style of play, based primarily on acceleration and change of pace, has not been spared in recent times. Indeed, he has already missed five weeks of competition this season for a similar injury. "It is a very sad moment for the players," said Rijkaard. "The wound of Messi is a loss for everyone. We have put pressure on him to play against Celtic, and now look what happened, "added Puyol. "We paid a heavy price for this victory. Leo was in a fantastic shape. It is really a pity, "adds Xavi. Lionel Messi will miss the quarter-finals of the Champions League but will certainly be present for the semi-finals if the Barça qualifies.
