Lionel Messi 13/18 to inflict more damage on Manchester City tonight

Competition: Champions League
Market: Lionel Messi to score anytime
Odds: 13/18 @ 888 Sport

Barcelona forward Lionel Messi scored from the spot in the first leg of the Champions League last-16 clash to help see off Manchester City at the Etihad, and 888 Sport are now giving odds of 13/18 for the Argentine international to repeat the scoring feat when the two sides meet tonight.

Messi, 26, has bagged 22 goals in the league and in Europe this season for Barcelona. When he’s featured in the Champions League, he hasn’t failed to score. He’s among the top scorers in the competition with seven goals to his name from just the four European ties he’s played in.

Such has been the frequency of his scoring regardless of the competition, Messi remains Barcelona’s key player if they stand any chance of success this season. The league is currently out of their hands, but the Champions League could well be their saving grace this season – if results continue to go against them domestically.

Despite some publications suggesting Messi isn’t anywhere near to his best at present, he still continues his fine run of goals in any game he plays in, and he’s odds on to net against Manchester City anytime in tonight’s game.
