Lionel Messi rescued a draw for Barcelona at Villarreal on Sunday as Luis Enrique's side dropped another two points in the title race. It could have been worse, though. The home side took the lead in the second half through Nicola Sansone and, boasting the league's meanest defence, looked like they would hang on for the three points. However, in the final minute, Messi won and scored a free kick to earn his side a draw they arguably deserved.
Positives
Barca are now five points behind Real Madrid -- and have slipped to third behind Sevilla, too -- although they were very close to slipping six points behind Zinedine Zidane's side, who have a game in hand.
