Barcelona’s Lionel Messi scored so freely in last night’s Champions League victory it seemed he was playing a computer game, Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger said.

The 22-year-old world player of the year hit all four of his team’s goals as Barcelona rallied to beat Arsenal 4-1. Nicklas Bendtner had given Arsenal the lead in the 19th minute at Camp Nou stadium. Barcelona will play Inter Milan for a chance to defend its European title in May.
