Messi double guides Barcelona to 2-0 win at Celtic
GLASGOW, Scotland — Lionel Messi steered Barcelona to a 13th straight appearance in the Champions League knockout stage, scoring both goals in a 2-0 win at Celtic as the Spanish team secured top spot in Group C on Wednesday.
Messi drove in a 24th-minute opener at Parkhead before converting a penalty in the 55th, putting him on nine goals already in four group games.
Five of those have come against Celtic, following his hat trick in Barcelona’s 7-0 win at Camp Nou in September.
