Another game against Madrid, another winner in the final few minutes of the game. Can we just rename the last minutes of every El Clasico as Messi time? With the tie poised at 4-4 (2-2 from the first-leg), a goal was the only thing needed to separate the tie.

Karim Benzema had scored just a goal with 9 minutes of normal time left. The match looked set to go to extra-time, but the Argentine had other plans. Instigating a move by passing to Adriano on the right, the Brazilian cut the ball back in a supposed no man's land towards which the number 10 was rushing in.

What happened next was what everybody expects with Lionel Messi, so no further comments are needed.
