Though he was making only his second start of the season, Lionel Messi still proved to be as decisive as ever in the game against Inter Milan.

Luis Suarez might have scored both goals to give Barcelona all three points, but his Argentine colleague was arguably the standout player on the field.

From the moment his compatriot put the visitors ahead Messi took it upon himself to force the issue and try to get Barcelona in the game, dropping deep into midfield to initiate plays and finishing moves off.

The 32-year-old tested Samir Handanovic on four occasions, drawing out fine saves from the Slovenian three times. He also completed 10 dribbles and played six key passes.

The most crucial of those came in the 84th minute after he had blazed his way across half of the field before setting up Suarez to give Barcelona a 2-1 lead.
