Bleacher Report Champions League Man of the Week: Lionel Messi

There could be only one.

After breaking hearts in north London with a brace in Barcelona's 2-0 win at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday, Lionel Messi has been named Bleacher Report's Champions League man of the week.

Barca struggled to break down a resolute Arsenal side for the first 70 minutes of their first-leg tie, until a swift counter-attack presented Messi with a chance he was never going to miss.

He then won and converted a late penalty to give the Catalans one foot in the quarter-final draw. You can't keep him down.
