Manuel Neuer had kept Bayern in the game with a string of fine saves, but was helpless as Messi drilled home the opener from the edge of the area in the 77th minute and then delightfully chipped the German three minutes later.

On his 100th appearance in European football, Messi's double moved him back ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo as the all-time leading scorer in the Champions League and Barca to the brink of their first final in four years.

Guardiola was given a warm reception by the home fans as he took his seat for the first time in the away dugout, but his early tactical plan to play three at the back nearly proved costly.

A change of system from Guardiola to a four at the back regained some measure of control, but the pace of the game was still unrelenting.

At the other end, Thiago Alcantara curled just wide on his return to the club where he made his name.

"After 1-0 it sapped our confidence a bit, the last goal is a shame because with 2-0 we had a chance, but 3-0 it is difficult," said Pep Guardiola, who was returning to the Camp Nou as the opposition coach for the first time after winning 14 trophies in four years as Barca boss between 2008 and 2012.

"We know how good Bayern are, they like to have the ball, they will be strong at home, but thankfully we managed to get the goals," said Lionel Messi after Barcelona's 3-0 win.

Guardiola's former teammate and friend, Barca coach Luis Enrique, admitted his job is made a lot easier by having Messi in his side.

Bayern came from 3-1 down in the quarter-finals against Porto with a stunning 6-1 second-leg victory at home, but forward Thomas Mueller admitted doing so against Barca is a different story.
