This is Why They Call Him The Messiah…

Barcelona were trailing Shakhtar Donetsk 1-0 in the Champions League today, but that was with Leo Messi on the bench. The little man came on with about 30 minutes to go (replacing Thierry Henry) and saved the day for Barca.

The tap-in equalizer (above) came in the 87th minute and the deft chip to win the game (below) came in the 94th. He might have left it late, but they don’t call him The Messiah for nothing.
