Lionel Messi scored a breath-taking goal as Barcelona beat Napoli 3-1 at Camp Nou to advance to the quarter final of the Champions League for the 14th consecutive season.

Goals from Clement Lenglet, Messi, and a Luis Suarez penalty made for a 4-2 aggregate win, and set up a last-eight clash with Bayern Munich in Lisbon.

Lorenzo Insigne, Napoli’s captain, also scored from the spot, but it turned out to be little more than a consolation for the Italian side.
