[Champions League] Lionel Messi Unstoppable, Barcelona Champions League Champions
Barcelona's move to the ladder of Champions League champions this season will be hard if Lionel Messi able to maintain the top performance level as he showed against Chelsea.
It was expressed by AC Milan legend Andriy Shevchenko of Ukraine, after La Pulga inspired 4-1 El Barca aggregate victory over the Blues in the round of 16 large. The Argentine captain scored three goals plus one assists in two meetings with Chelsea.
In the quarter-finals, Barcelona terundi faced the Italian representative AS Roma. The first leg will be held at Camp Nou on April 4 before Ernesto Valverde's children visit the Olimpico in the second leg, 10 April.
Shevchenko sees the Catalan giants as the strongest favorites to lift the Great Ear's trophy.
"If Messi plays like that, like last Wednesday [Chelsea's counter], Barca will become European champions this season," said Sheva, who acted as Champions League final ambassador this season in Kiev, to El Mundo Deportivo.
"This Messi is unstoppable We have seen him against Chelsea He is at a very high level."
The other quarter-final matches bring together two finalists last season Real Madrid and Juventus, a fellow English duel between Liverpool and Manchester City, as well as Sevilla versus Bayern Munich.
