Messi's strut in the quarter-final
second leg took him to 51 Champions League goals - at 24 the youngest player to
accomplish the half century milestone - and a record total this season of 14,
improving the preceding mark held by himself and Ruud van Nistelrooy of 12.
Andres Iniesta's fantastic goal
early in the second-half wrapped up the match and they will face wilt Chelsea
or Benfica in the semi-finals as they propose to become the first team to hold
the trophy since it became the Champions League in the 1992/93 season.
Antonio Nocerino had scored a goal
back for Milan to echelon temporarily in the first-half but in the end there
was no stopping Barcelona imitating the great Real Madrid side of the 1950's in
reaching five consecutive semi-finals. Barcelona's 3-1 win saw them contentedly
through to the semis after a 0-0 draw in the first leg in Italy.
