it all gets a bit Messi at Tannadice

Actually taken 26/7/08, but won't let me put that date in as it's before I signed up!

Anyway, Dundee United v Barcelona, final score was 1-5... United's Prince Buaben scored before Thierry Henry equalised at the ground at which he scored his first goal for Barca on his debut a year earlier... and so the first half finished 1-1.

After the break and the introduction of one Lionel Messi, Barca took control and cruised away with a goal for Samuel Eto'o and a Messi hat-trick, to give them only their second ever win against United in six matches... the first only a year previous when they scraped a 1-0 win against a spirited Dundee United side, the previous 4, all in comptitive European cup games, having been won by United.
