Watch: Chicharito continues hot streak with goal vs. Barcelona

Mexican forward Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez continued his scoring ways with Bayer Leverkusen, netting a valuable goal in the Champions League vs. Barcelona. 

Mexican forward Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez continued his scoring ways with Bayer Leverkusen, netting a valuable goal in the Champions League vs. Barcelona. 

Chicharito scored an equalizer in the first half, minutes after Lionel Messi had scored for Barcelona in their group finale. With Leverkusen playing for its knockout-stage life, Chicharito had a ball fall his way in the box, and he made no mistake with a curling, left-footed effort. 

For Chicharito, the goal is his 12th in his last 11 games with Leverkusen across all competitions, and he has 14 goals total since joining the Bundesliga club from Manchester United in the summer. With the Red Devils struggling to score and ousted from the Champions League in the group stage, one has to wonder if they're having a bit of seller's remorse.
