Champions League: Barca ease into last 16 as Messi scores in 700th match



Lionel Messi scored in his 700th match for Barcelona and also set up goals for Luis Suarez and Antoine Griezmann as the Catalans beat Borussia Dortmund 3-1 on Wednesday.
The win for Barca ensured that they sealed a spot in the Champions League knockout stages as Group F winners.
Messi set up Suarez to put Barca ahead at a packed Camp Nou in the 29th minute before the Uruguayan returned the compliment for the Argentine to establish another Champions League record on his landmark night four minutes later.
Messi’s left-foot strike meant he had scored against a 34th different team in the Champions League, surpassing the mark that he had shared with Cristiano Ronaldo and Raul.
“Messi moves so well between the lines and when he receives the ball he is almost unstoppable,” said Dortmund coach Lucien Favre, whose side struck a late consolation goal through substitute Jadon Sancho.
“Sometimes all you can do is try to foul him because he is so explosive. He is also deadly whenever he makes a final ball.”

Akpodiete, represented by the Dean of Student Affairs, Mr. Thomas Ojuye, said the move was to check the incidence of indecent dressing among students on campus. “The management of the polytechnic came up with an advice to students to dress in a manner that is acceptable to the institution and the public. “Sequel to the directive by the school management, the use of all manner of caps by students on campus has been proscribed,” he said. The rector said that the polytechnic’s security unit had been authorised as a matter of importance to destroy seized caps henceforth.
