Celtic saw their chance to put one up against Barcelone vanished after Messi played to the class he has so often been talked about. Jan VEnnegoor of Hesselink pounded in the first goal for the Scottish which was brought to level terms by a Messi goal 2 minutes later. Barry Robson then restored the lead for Celtic, who comfortably took it to half time. After the break, Barca came in with more firepower where Henry equalised from a mistake by Gary Caldwell before the game was finished off by Messi again at the stroke of the 79th minute. Another fixutre at Istanbul was not short of any action where Fenerbahce met Sevilla, where the home side took the lead through former Chelsea man Mateja Kezman. The lead lasted for 6 minutes when an own goal by Dracena brough the crowd to a stand still. after that. Diego Lugano reinstated supremacy before a come back by Sevilla was deemed to be complet when Escude equalize again at the 66 minute. 2 away goals would have been a comfortable result but right before the game ended, Semih Senturk scored to give the Turks a one goal advantage when they go to Sevilla in the return leg.
