Barcelona gave Spurs a footballing lesson in their Champions League group stage clash.
Mauricio Pochettino’s men were chasing shadows for much of the game as Barcelona enjoyed themselves at Wembley.

Lionel Messi in particular was in the mood and helped put Spurs to the sword.
The talismanic No10 sealed what was an outrageous individual performance with two expertly taken goals.
The Argentine was denied twice by the same post in the second-half, however nothing was going to stop him from scoring.

He didn’t do it all himself though. Messi certainly has his team-mates to thank for his goals.
In particular the first one.
In the build-up to the captain’s strike, did we see the hierarchy of Barca’s attacking trio in action?
Messi collected the ball outside the area and spread it out wide to Jordi Alba
The Spaniard looked up and saw Coutinho at the near post with Suarez also in the centre
The Brazilian presumably got a shout from Suarez and let the ball run past him because of that
Suarez is hitting that… right?
Wrong. The Uruguayan then left it to his captain who seemingly gave the instruction to his team-mate
He’s the shark of the sea
The ball being left not once, but twice for Messi to score is particularly pleasing.
It shows how both Coutinho and Suarez effectively know their place in the pecking order.
Coutinho falls behind Suarez, who then comes second to Messi.

We doubt any of them are going to argue with their captain.
It’s the food chain of the most devastating attack in Europe.
