Lionel Messi.
Barcelona talisman Lionel Messi scored two late goals to put his side in control of their bad-tempered Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid.
The goals came after Real’s Pepe was dismissed in the 61st minute and boss Jose Mourinho was sent to the stands soon after for his protestations.
That seemed to turn the tide in Barca’s favour and they went ahead when Messi turned in Ibrahim Afellay’s cross.
Messi then added a fabulous second when he ran 30 yards before slotting in.
It was a glorious way to score his 11th goal in 11 Champions League games and by doing so made his side firm favourites to go through from the second leg at Barcelona’s Nou Camp on 3 May.
The final against either Manchester United or Schalke 04 will be played at Wembley on 28 May.
