Champions League watch: Messi shines as Barcelona hammer Bayern

Pep Guardiola endured an unhappy return to the Camp Nou, as Barcelona beat Bayern Munich 3-0, in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final tie.

The newly-crowned Bundesliga champions appeared to have the match under control, as they held their hosts for 77 minutes, until Lionel Messi breached their defence.

Dani Alves robbed Bernat of the ball and fed Messi, whose wonderful strike beat Manuel Neuer. The diminutive Argentine doubled the lead a few moments later, leaving Jerome Boateng on the grass before firing home.

Neymar wrapped up the classic tie with a neat finish from a counter-attack in the 87th minute, leaving the German side with all to do in six days time.
