You know it’s Barcelona fans when we celebrate like we’ve scored a goal, just seeing that Messi is safe from an injury 😂

But I thought Messi wasn’t clutch? And doesn’t step up when his team needs him most anymore?
From 2-0 down to 2-2, thanks to a Messi brace. Game on.

What a finish that is from #Messi. There is no superlative that can do justice to how this man plays the game…

Messi is having one of the lowest performances of the season so far, yet he could still end this match with a hat-trick. That’s when you know you are talking about the GOAT.
