When Argentina needs a hero, Lionel Messi answers the bell.

With the Albiceleste in desperate need of a win in World Cup qualifying, the little magician stepped up and opened the scoring in Tuesday's clash against Colombia with a stunning free-kick that clipped the bar and beat a helpless David Ospina.

Kind reminder to Wilmar Barrios - and everyone else in world football, for that matter - don't commit fouls in that area when Messi is on the pitch.
