Magical Messi does it again as late winner sees off Atletico to keep Barca hot on Real Madrid's heels

As is so often the case, Lionel Messi has different ideas from everyone else.
Barcelona looked committed to running their title race aground against Atletico Madrid and with five minutes to go, they seemed set to throw away two more points.
With four to go, they were top by two points — and in between, Messi had his say. They were, however, only top of La Liga for a matter of hours before Real Madrid returned to the summit with a victory over Villarreal.
