Eventful final minutes saw three goals, including from Messi, and red card

Real Betis had scored two first half goals from Junior and Joaquin, before Lionel Messi gave Barcelona a way back in to the game with a penalty.

Giovanni Lo Celso put the score at 3-1 in Betis' favour, before Arturo Vidal got one back for the hosts just two minutes later.

Thanks to an excellent Messi through ball, Munir was played in behind the Betis defence and squared the ball to the Chilean, who couldn't miss from just a few yards out.

Former Sevilla man Ivan Rakitic then saw red, receiving a second yellow card for a reckless challenge, to put Barça down to 10 men.

The Seville-based team then notched a fourth of the game thanks to subsitute Sergio Canales sliding in at the front post.

The final twist in the game saw Lionel Messi have a goal disallowed in the 90th minute after he was initally thought to have been offside following a Vidal pass.

However, after VAR was consulted, the referee's decision was overturned and the goal stood, leaving the final score 3-4.
