Superb Messi seals another La Liga title for Barcelona

Lionel Messi came off the bench in the second half to score the loan goal in Barcelona's 1-0 win over Levante at Camp Nou. In the 62nd minute, Messi received a header from Arturo Vidal, shuffled his feet as two defenders sailed by, and scored with his signature clinical finish.  Messi scored his 34 league goal of the season in 32 appearances after 17 minutes of play. This La Liga title is Barcelona's fourth in the past five years.  "Messi was always ready to come on and I always knew he was going to play but we also have a game on Wednesday. He has to stay active and he scores goals everywhere he goes and he has won us this title," Valverde told reporters.  "It is very difficult to win this title, without the amount of teams we are competing with, especially with this margin. "We have done it two years in a row and it's fantastic to see the fans celebrate the title like this at home. Now we want to go and celebrate it." Beating Leva

Lionel Messi leads Barcelona into Champions League semifinal

Messi has this mesmerizing ability of taking football artistry to unseen levels, and tonight was one of those nights in which he lit up the pitch with his speed, thought and movement. Messi scored twice within four minutes in the first half, and Coutinho increased Barcelona's goal tally to three in the second half, with a brilliant goal. Barcelona beat the Premier league side 4-0 on aggregate to earn a spot at the semi-finals. Messi's first goal came from the edge of the box, in the 16th minute, and the second in the 20th.  Manchester United goalkeeper, De Gea, made a blunder that was responsible for Messi's second goal. De Gea should however be credited for denying Sergi Roberto a goal in first-half stoppage time. Philippe Coutinho scored Barcelona's third in the 61st minute, curling a stunning effort into the top corner from 25 yards. Barcelona shall meet either Liverpool or Porto in the semi-final. Manchester United coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer told BT Sport

Poetry - Anchor by Otto B. Isong

Anchor A kind of love that's simple A friendship that's deep A partnership that's sacred There's that person out there The one that knowingly or not Gives you a peaceful smile You are sure of one thing Of being at peace with them No need to pretend, no games They know exactly who you are They feel it in their own skin They care not what others think As long as you're true to yourself It is the anchor of friendship The seal of lifelong partnership Love, respect and trust them They got you anchored safely In their heart you sail eternal Author: Otto B.
