Barcelona star Messi will need treatment but not in danger for Bayern clash, says Setien

Barcelona head coach Quique Setien has backed Lionel Messi to make the cut for Bayern Munich after being felled during his side's Champions League last-16 victory over Napoli.

Goals from Clement Lenglet, Messi and Luis Suarez secured a 3-1 win for Barca at Camp Nou on Saturday and a 4-2 aggregate victory.

Barca were 3-0 up and had another goal through Messi disallowed for handball in the first half, and although Lorenzo Insigne's penalty shortly before the interval gave Napoli some hope, they could not find a way back into the contest against a resilient Blaugrana.
