Messi 9/10, De Jong 8/10 as Barca reach Champions League quarters
Lionel Messi inspired Barcelona to a 3-1 win against Napoli on Saturday to set up a Champions League quarterfinal against Bayern Munich in Lisbon next week.
Messi scored a stunning individual goal, had another effort ruled out for handball and won a penalty, which was converted by Luis Suarez, as Barca booked their place in the last eight for the 13th consecutive season.
Clement Lenglet opened the scoring at Camp Nou in the 10th minute before Messi beat several Napoli players and fired past David Ospina for a wonder goal. Suarez made it three after Kalidou Koulibaly fouled Messi in the area.
