Philippe Coutinho’s goal was worth €12million
Lionel Messi delivered another reminder of his enduring star quality as Barca quashed United’s hopes of another improbable Champions League comeback at the Nou Camp.
The Red Devils had overcome a two-goal deficit at Paris St Germain last month but Messi’s first-half brace and a wonder strike from Coutinho ushered Barcelona towards a 4-0 aggregate win at the ground of one of the Premier League side’s greatest triumphs.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was insistent that the 1999 Champions League final win over Bayern Munich would have no bearing on this quarter-final second leg and his remarks proved accurate.
But if the Premier League side had been able to pull of an incredible comeback, they would have been in line for UEFA’s lucrative prize money for reaching the last four.

When played through by Paul Pogba, the striker hit the bar with a toe poke which would have levelled the tie on aggregate.
