However, this still didn’t stop him as he quickly recovered to his feet and curled a strike between the final two men.
David Ospina got a hand to it, but could only push the ball into the side netting.
Messi ran off celebrating passionately, despite having no fans inside the stadium to enjoy his goal with.
