Top 5 times Messi saved Barcelona late in the game

#3 Free-kick against Villarreal (2017)

The clock read 89.30, Messi was readying himself to take a free-kick. In front of him was a sea of yellow forming a wall like Poseidon guarding his throne. The score was 1-0 in Villarreal’s favour. Barca were trying and trying to break it even, but were being repeatedly denied by the Yellow Submarines.

But they knew that it was far from over. How can it be? After all, it is only over when Messi says it is over. He took a breath and ran up to the ball and caressed it with his divine feet. It was like Lord Rama touching a cursed statue of Ahalya with his feet.

Like Ahalya, the ball came to life. It sailed over the wall and dipped into the net to give the Catalans a draw that was woven due to the divine intervention of Lord Messi.
