Barcelona seemed to be done and dusted by a Sansone goal in the 49th minute of the crucial fixture, but Messi had other plans.

Luis Suarez and Neymar wasted plenty of good chances right throughout the game leaving it to Lionel Messi to equalise things right at the death of the match.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner took advantage of the reckless tackle by the defensive midfielder Bruno Soriano with a brilliantly taken free-kick right into the top right corner of Sergio Asenjo’s goal.
