For the second time in four days, Lionel Messi opened the scoring at the Camp Nou.
In the 24th minute of Barcelona's La Liga game versus Celta Vigo on Saturday, Messi took matters into his own feet, collecting the ball just outside the centre circle and embarking on a 25-yard run in which he left two opponents for dead before slotting the ball past Sergio Alvarez.
The goal marked Messi's 22nd of the 2016-17 La Liga season.
