Messi always has the last word, and in a match that had turned very ugly for Barcelona, He did his best to revive his team when the scoreboard threatened a 1-2 that the Argentine knew how to reverse with two goals (3-2).
Barça suffered the unspeakable in a match in which they never had control and in the second half, after a masterful counterattack by Spartak (1-2), He feared a defeat that seemed like a fact, until the epic once again took over the Camp Nou, from the hand of his genius, the Argentine Lionel Messi.
Unai Emery knew how to bore the Barcelona fans and make the game choke them from the first minute. He already announced the day before that his team was only going to have a few options and that Spartak had to be supportive in defense to prevent a Barça storm from taking them ahead..

With a defense of two lines of four players very united and covering all possible gaps, Spartak kept away a slow Barça with few ideas to give an effective response to a new almost insurmountable Numantine defense.
The task was going to be difficult for a Barça that surprisingly took more than a minute to take control of the match once it started.. Although the ball settled between the Barcelona fans, they didn't enjoy it.
To all of it, in the minute 11 Gerard Piqué asked for a change due to an injury, due to poor posture in a fall after shooting a ball in the Russian area. In his place came the Cameroonian Alex Song. Barcelona had a couple of midfielders (Song y Mascherano) requalified for power plants.
Given the ineffectiveness in attack and with an inconsequential domain, Tello received a ball in the front in the minute 13 and the body asked him to do what always works well after a cut; He shot with power at the long post and sent the ball into the back of the net. (1-0).
Messi, minutes later, He also tried it outside the area, but without any success, like the one who didn't have the Barça defense in the 29, when in an outburst by Emenike on the right wing, he threw a poisoned ball into the area, to which Song did not succeed in the clearance and Alves did, although he sent it to the bottom of his goal (1-1).
It was somewhat the latter that once again calmed down the Russians and made the Blaugrana uncomfortable., who did not find fluidity in their juice, neither in the center nor on the wings, where Spartak always showed the necessary help to become superior against the local attack.
Busquets, en el 33 headlong, y Cesc, en el 37, also with the head to pass from Xavi, They had good chances to break the deadlock in the first half., in which Barcelona was blurred by a very serious rival in defense.
En el segundo tiempo, Barcelona continued without answers. Given his passivity and lack of ideas, It was easy for Spartak to put together a devilish counterattack that put the Barça defense in check on numerous occasions..
Due to the lack of creativity, Alves made a deep pass that Messi resolved with a half turn inside the area which goalkeeper Dykan resolved with an accurate intervention. In the continuation, Spartak once again mounted a counterattack that was lethal, since McGeady's final pass to Romulo ended with him beating Adriano and beating Valdés low (1-2).
Barcelona armed itself with patience and pushed the rival a little more towards its area, where he complained, blocked with the idea of ​​defending the momentary victory at any price and risking it again with a lethal counterattack like in the second both.
Barça had more than twenty minutes left and, with Alexis already in the field, went for everything. In a new boarding school, Tello drew a dribble of many carats inside the area, he served Messi short, that tied (2-2) with a gentle touch.
Tito Vilanova put Villa in for a Tello who came out applauded. Barcelona was plugged in, The Camp Nou was helping him and the offensive charges followed one after another, until in a double center from both bands, Alexis gave Messi a golden ball, that he scored again with his head (3-2).
Two goals from Messi that reached the heart of a Spartak that saw a good job at the Camp Nou buried in two actions by the rival, where Emery added another setback against the Blaugrana.
