Messi made headlines all over the world last week after guiding the Argentina national team to seal berth at the FIFA World Cup 2018 in Russia. The sensational forward scored a memorable hat-trick to pull his national team out of the jaws of danger (of not qualifying for the tournament).
He however failed to score in the La Liga this weekend as Barcelona took on Atletico Madrid. The match finished 1-1 at the Wanda Metropolitano.
