Messi Brilliance Saves Barcelona Again
October 8, 2018
Lionel Messi scored a brilliant equaliser but Barcelona’s winless run in La Liga stretched to four matches after a 1-1 draw at Valencia.
Ezequiel Garay made the most of terrible marking to convert a corner in the second minute, but Valencia were unable to make the most of their early dominance at Mestalla.
Messi showed his typical brilliance with a goal in the 23rd that he conjured up while appearing hemmed in by two defenders.
Messi slipped a pass to Luis Suarez between the legs of Geoffrey Kondogbia, Suarez used one gentle touch to lay the ball back into Messi’s path and the Argentina forward scored with a left-footed strike from outside the area.
Barcelona’s most recent game had been an impressive 4-2 win over Tottenham in the Champions League on Wednesday when Messi scored twice.
The big boys in LaLiga have struggled for form this season – with Real Madrid winless and without a goal in their last three top-flight outings.
Watch the goal below.
