After the cross, Messi and his pursuer on the pitch no longer looked at each other. Although the midfielder tried to maintain his personal best against Leo during the 90 minutes, which was effective by not allowing him to gravitate too much into the attacking zone, it was during injury time that the star once again rubbed the lamp to leave it incomplete.
