Messi scores first ever goal against Petr Cech as Arsenal loses at home to Barca

Messi’s brace has dunked Arsenal at the Emirates.

5-time world footballer of the year, Lionel Messi has finally broken the jinx against Arsenal goalkeeper, Petr Cech as the prolific Barcelona star scored his first ever goal against the Czech Republic goal tender yesternight at the Emirates.

The Spanish champions were the victorious side in the first leg of the round of 16 stage of the UEFA Champions League as Messi fired home two goals.

With the first half ending in a goalless draw, Messi returned all determined in the second half and fired home goals in the 71st and 83rd minutes of the game.

Arsenal now walks on a thin line as the team faces a tough challenge of responding to the 2-goal deficit as they visit Camp Nou in a fortnight.
