Messi was well marked by the opponent of which he was placed below Higuain and Aguero as the supporting striker and he played his role quite brilliantly creating many chances and scoring himself in 65th minute. Working from the heart of the midfield, Messi played one-two with Higuain before he went pass few defenders and releasing a shot that went in after striking the right hand post.
