The Argentine was instrumental in Barcelona’s 3-2 victory over Real Madrid. The win opens up La Liga title race with five matches left in the season.
Lionel Messi scored his 500th goal for Barcelona in the last minute of the El Clasico to help the Catalan giant to a fighting 3-2 victory over arch rival Real Madrid.
The win reignited that La Liga title race, with Barca moving to the top of the charts on better goal difference. Real, however, has a game in hand.
James Rodriguez appeared to have rescued a point for the host with an 86th-minute strike to make it 2-2 after goals from Messi and Ivan Rakitic had overturned Casemiro’s opener. But Barcelona, enjoying the extra man advantage after Sergio Ramos was sent off for a horror tackle on the Argentine No. 10, snatched all three points in the final minute after Messi slotted past goalkeeper Keylor Navas.
Third-placed Atletico Madrid’s good run continued as it eked out a 1-0 win at Espanyol, with the result keeping it three points ahead of Sevilla, which beat lowly Granada 2-0 at home.
