Barcelona star Messi admits Man Utd keeper Van der Sar out of position for goal

Barcelona star Lionel Messi was delighted with his goal in their Champions League triumph over Manchester United.

Messi admits he spotted Edwin van der Sar out of position before thumping his effort past the United veteran.

"We were superior against Manchester and deserved the win," he said.

"It is another cup for us and I managed to score a goal again. I saw a bit of space there, the goalkeeper came out a bit and luckily it went in.

"Now we're going on holiday - after taking the cup home to our people - then we will start thinking about what we can achieve next season."
