Barcelona snuck by Atletico Madrid 2-1 on the road on Sunday to temporarily move into first place in La Liga, and it was Lionel Messi who scored the late winner.
It wasn’t the most conventional of strikes from the Argentine, but he got into space, fired a shot and then got to his blocked effort to finish. Take a look.

It wasn’t pretty, but Barca will take it. The win puts pressure on Real Madrid, who can move back into first later Sunday when it plays Villarreal.
