BARCELONA, Spain — Lionel Messi made sure there was no memorable Champions League comeback for Manchester United at Camp Nou this time. But Messi showed that past glories mean very little when he is playing at his best. Messi only managed a tame shot on goal but the Spain goalkeeper let it slip underneath him and into the net. “Messi and Cristiano (Ronaldo) have been the best players in the world for the past decade,” Solskjaer said. The goals ended Messi’s bizarre scoring drought in Champions League quarterfinals that had reached 12 matches dating back to 2013.
