Lionel Messi scored two goals and David De Gea had the egg on his face while Barcelona defeated Manchester United with a 3-0 win at Camp Nou.
That meant a 4-0 overall victory for La Liga players, who barely needed to break free from their sweat to reach the Champions League semi-finals.
United started the game very well as Marcus Rashford clinched the top of the bar after just over 30 seconds. The English international was played by Paul Pogba and, although beaten by Marc-André ter Stegen, he was too high.
All of United's hard work seemed to have to be canceled in the 11th minute when referee Felix Brych awarded Barca a penalty following Fred's foul on Ivan Rakitic – the only one to be able to cancel his decision after the opinion of the video assistant referee.
Five minutes later, Barca found the first goal when Ashley Young, then Fred, left Messi far too much space. The Argentine is superbly successful in defeating De Gea.
Moments later, Barca doubled his advantage and there were still more mistakes. Fred was again caught in possession of the ball and the ball fell on Messi, who could only produce a small effort – but that was enough to squirm under the body of one. Gea embarrassed.
This ended the match in the form of a contest and allowed Barca to play in second gear.
Messi then saw a quick shot fly over the bar, before Rakitic was left indifferent on a free kick, but this time, De Gea kept his head.
Just past the hour, former Liverpool midfielder, Philippe Coutinho, came on the scene, beating De Gea beautifully from distance after being set up by Jordi Alba.
Shortly after, Messi almost completed his hat trick with a daring move to the center.
Jesse Lingard created a rare offensive moment for visitors as he shot hard, he had 11 minutes to go. Ter Stegen had a great break from substitute Alexis Sanchez, but the Ole Gunnar Solskjaer team was not consoling themselves. .
