Barcelona once again had their star player answering when they needed him the most.
Los Blaugranas were not having an easy match against Malaga, but when you have a player such as the Argentinean, there's a good chance you may witness him creating chaos among the opposition's defenders. Today, as usual, that was the case.
With the game tied 1-1, Messi scored the second goal of the game for his side with a left-footed volley, putting to good use a cross by Adriano. As incredible as it may seem, and given that Messi scores a ton of goals each season, this was Adriano's first assist for the Argentinean in the past three years.
Furthermore, Messi's volley ended a goal scoring drought for the Argentinean, as he had failed to score away from Camp Nou Stadium since September 12th, 2015, when he scored the game-winning goal against Atlético.
Watch Messi's volley to give Barcelona the lead against Málaga.
