Barcelona star Lionel Messi brutally face-plants the floor in the Champions League clash against Barcelona with the internet going wild with hilarious memes
LIONEL MESSI didn’t have his finest night for Barcelona, crashing out of the Champions League as well into the turf at the Nou Camp.
The Argentinian ace was unable to find the back of the net as Juventus drew 0-0 on Wednesday evening to qualify for the Champions League semi-finals.

In a game where Luis Enrique’s side were frustrated by the tactical masterclass of the Old Lady, one moment in the first half resulted in one of the major talking points.
With the ball looping up by the halfway, Messi went up for a header against Miralem Pjanic, but the midfielder stood his ground, with the 29-year-old flying over his shoulder.
He couldn’t get his hands up to stop his fall and face-planted the floor, leaving him with a cut under his eye.
His team-mate Neymar was left outraged, and charged at the Bosnian star where he clattered him over, resulting in a yellow card.
