Messi opened the scoring after just three minutes when he slotted home through Courtois' legs from an improbable angle. There was little doubt that the goal was a mistake from the Chelsea shot-stopper, but Van Gaal pinned Chelsea's entire defeat on the Belgian. "If he’d have had Frans Hoek (former United goalkeeping coach) as goalkeeper coach, he would have closed his legs.
