Barcelona beat Celtic (1-0) yesterday at the Camp Nou and got through to the Champions League quarter-finals; however, the Spanish team's victory was sadly overshadowed by the injury picked up by Lionel Messi.Around the 30th minute of the game, Leo Messi felt a sudden pain in his left leg right after having started a run. The Argentinian forward, who immediately realized the damage, fell to the ground and left the pitch in tears soon after. It was later revealed that Messi had torn his left hamstring muscle. This is an injury of the same type as the one Leo picked up in a game against Valencia last December. It took him five weeks to recover then, and the initial estimations are that now he could be out of the pitches for a similar time. The player will be submitted to further tests today in order to determine the extent of his injury more accurately.
