Cracker of a match yesterday between AC Milan and Barcelona.
Alexandre Pato turned on some otherworldly speed to score for
MIlan just 24 seconds after kickoff (above). Then it was Leo
Messi's turn (below, with other highlights). How Messi gets in
that centering pass to Pedro for the Barcelona equalizer is
beyond me. David Villa later scored on a perfect, swerving free
kick that Rob Hughes at The New York Times justly calls "a
masterpiece of still art." Thiago Silva tied it up for Milan in
injury time.
