Barca Survives Scare With PSG, Joins UCL Semis

((HT: UEFA/Fox Soccer))

The question the HQ asks is somewhat rhetorical...

Just how influential a player is Lionel Messi for Barcelona...???

Answer... a whole freaking lot...

Barca looked somewhat skittish in their home half of their quarterfinal against PSG. Messi didn't start because of temporary gimpiness and the lack of offense showed as the visitors took advantage behind Pastore's goal early in the second half.

But down 1-0 and in need of an equalizer, manager Jose Mourinho decided to bring the ace out of his sleeve...

And Messi made a difference- evne if he didn't touch the ball...

But, when he did, it was the standard amount of magic... enough magic for Barca to advance to the semis with Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Borussia Dortmund...

Here's the highlights...
