He is without doubt the best player in the world, but also the best in the history of football.” Thanks to the heroics of City keeper Joe Hart, the score-line — 1-0 toBarca — wasn’t as emphatic as Messi’s performance, but the Argentine captain oozed class all night, terrorizing the City defense with his pace and guile, and providing a brilliant assistfor Ivan Rakitic’s only goal of the game. The aggregate score finished a comfortable 3-1, sending the Catalan club into the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals.
