Messi dribbling vs Real Betis: Barca star produces moment of brilliance

Messi dribbling vs Real Betis: The Argentine superstar made a solid return to football, even when Barcelona went down to Real Betis last night.

Barcelona suffered a shock 4-3 defeat to Real Betis in La Liga yesterday. Ernesto Valverde’s side, however, is still at the top of the table, with a point ahead of the second-placed Sevilla.

Lionel Messi made a return to football last night as well. The Argentine footballer suffered an arm injury against Sevilla two weeks ago, but made a quick recovery.

The Barcelona forward scored two goals on his comeback, including a penalty. However, Barca leaked goals in the later stages of the game, which didn’t allow Valverde’s side to take a lead in the game.

Messi, however, was in form as he returned to the game, and produced a moment of brilliance during the first half.

The Barcelona forward played like he was never away from football, as he went past three defenders in a matter of seconds early in the first half. It might not have reaped a reward for Barcelona, but it certainly made the fans gasp and the fans on social media didn’t fail to applaud Messi’s genius.

Here’s the video of Messi’s dribbling:

The fans, understandably, were in awe of the Argentine star.

What next?

Barcelona will return to La Liga on November 25 with a heavyweight clash against Atletico Madrid, as players head out for the international break.
