Sergio Busquets praises "machine" Lionel Messi

Sergio Busquets says that he is glad Lionel Messi returned to goalscoring form in Barcelona's 3-1 Champions League win over AC Milan.

Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets has praised Lionel Messi for his return to goalscoring form in their Champions League victory over AC Milan.

The Spanish champions booked their place in the last 16 after a 3-1 win, with Messi scoring twice to end his recent goal drought.

"It was only a matter of matches and in front of goal Lionel Messi is always a machine. Today he has scored two and I hope he can continue that way," UEFA.com quotes him as saying.

"I think we played a good first half and we suffered a bit in the second half but the victory leaves us in a very good position in the group."

Barcelona are top of Champions League Group H with 10 points.
