Barcelona have cruised into the champions League quarter-finals with an ultimately comfortable victory over Manchester City on Wednesday.
The Catalan giants  won their last 16, seconds leg clash 2-1 to complete 4-1 aggregate  victory as City just as in the first leg had a player sent off, this time full-back Pablo Zabaleta.
Messi, however, always shimmered with danger and his goal snuffed out any worries. Kompany's equaliser came from a corner, applying the final touch to Dzeko's header, despite Barça's protests that at least one player had been offside. The home team had other complaints about a disallowed goal for Neymar in the first half but by the end of the night that was a mere subplot. The real story was of Messi, in full flow, demonstrating to City that they still have some way to go before all that hard ambition and financial power brings them what they want.
Lionel Messi gave the hosts a second half lead before City captain Vincent Kompany equalised a minute from time, only for Dani Alves to snatch an injury time winner.
The 2009 and 2011 champions thus joined holders Bayern Munich, Compatriots Atletico and French giants Paris Saint- German as the first four quarter finals.  

Location: Barcelona, Spain
