Messi, who scored the night’s opener (his 8th Champions League goal of the season) is a major doubt for the second leg tie against the French side next week. In yet another blow to the Catalan giants, Javier Mascherano will definitely miss the second leg as the defender is facing 6 to 8 weeks out after rupturing his knee ligaments.
