Watch: Fernandinho's slip gifts Messi 87th Champions League goal
Reuters
We can't say that Lionel Messi won't ever score an easier goal, given how many open-net tap-ins Barcelona is capable of creating, but this one was certainly among his most fortunate.
The Argentine megastar opened the scoring in Wednesday's anticipated contest with former boss Pep Guardiola and Manchester City, taking advantage of an inopportune slip by Fernandinho before easily rounding Claudio Bravo.
Lionel Messi's strike is the 100th goal scored by Messi-Suarez-Neymar in 2016 across all competitions.
