Barcelona's two goal Lionel Messi made an appeal to fans during their 3-0 rout of Champions League opponents Liverpool.

The Argentine netted twice in the Catalan giants' Champions League semi-final victory, which puts Barcelona in a brilliant position ahead of the second leg at Anfield.

After both goals he celebrated wildly with his team-mates.

However, after his first he was seen gesturing something with his hands to the fans packed inside the Nou Camp.

And AS reports Messi was in fact telling supporters not to jeer Philippe Coutinho.

The former Liverpool midfielder was booed off when he was substituted on Wednesday. After failing to make an impact he was then swapped with Nelson Semedo.
