Leo Messi darted past Varane and Carvajal bursting into the area, and looked sure to find the back of the net. However, you know it's not your night when Messi fails to score in a one-on-one situation.
The striker hammered the ball goalwards, but it was pushed onto the underside of the bar by Navas. A golden opportunity for the Catalans to get back into the fixture.
