Messi Monday--In Living Color

Messi Goals: 1, Season Total: 44 

Athletic Bilbao 2-2 Barcelona: The World’s Best Player’s magic in vain as Basques deny Blaugrana at the death. 

Majestic Goal of the Weekend by the Jedi:

 


The Argentine superstar turned the game on its head following his introduction but a late goal from the Basque midfielder means that the title will not be decided this weekend Messi was let loose after the break and after equalizing with a sublime individual effort he assisted Alexis Sanchez for what looked like the winner until Ander Herrera levelled the game in the final minute of normal time.

Messi was quickly introduced in place of Xavi and while Barca instantly looked a better team, Pedro and Alexis were both unable to beat Iraizoz from inside the area.

But in the 67th minute Messi provided a majestic moment of individual brilliance as he wriggled between three players, ducking inside and out, before caressing the ball into the bottom corner to equalize.
