If there were any doubts remaining about the great relationship between Barcelona's players, what happened today at Camp Nou Stadium speaks for itself.
As the game entered its final minutes, Lionel Messi was granted a penalty kick after being brought down inside Celta's box. But when everybody expected him to send the ball into the back of the net to complete another brace, "La Pulga" chose to assist Luis Suárez for the game's fourth goal. This could've been Messi's 300th La Liga goal, but he ended up creating something for the ages.

Take a look at how fans reacted to the show Messi and Suárez performed today.
Messi passes a penalty, to give Suarez his hat-trick, when he could've got his 300th la liga goal. The difference between him and Ronaldo..

Perhaps Messi should have passed THAT penalty in the Nou Camp in 2012.

You know, it's not the number of goals Messi's scored that folks will talk about in 30 years. It's the "remember when he did THAT"-stuff.
