The Argentine needed treatment before he could complete the game, but he appeared to be in good spirit, with bruises around his nose - as he prepared to fly back to Spain.

Messi assisted Luis Suarez for the only goal of the march- but his header was diverted beyond David De Gea reach into the net by United’s Luke Shaw.

Suarez was also spotted carrying a travel bag as he made his way to catch the flight back to northern Spain last night.

Interestingly, ex-Man United defender Gerard Pique helped Barca keep a clean sheet, with the Red Devils failing to fire a single shot on goal.
