MESKIPUN dilanda cedera, Lionel Messi mendukung kemenangan 2-1 atas Atletico Madrid, Minggu, untuk mengantar Barcelona untuk memenangkan gelar liga Spanyol ke-22.
Messi mulai pertandingan pertamanya dalam enam putaran karena cedera hamstring kanan, tapi ia meninggalkan lapangan di menit ke-68 ketika Barcelona tertinggal 1-0 atas gol Radamel Falcao di 52 menit yang memaksa tiga pergantian pemain.
Namun, Alexis Sanchez menyamakan kedudukan di menit 72 dan gelandang Atletico Gabi Fernandez mencetak gol bunuh diri di menit 80 tersebut untuk memastikan pesta Barcelona untuk memastikan gelar ketika Real Madrid bermain imbang Sabtu malam.
Barcelona bisa menandingi rekor Madrid meraih 100 poin jika menang di tiga pertandingan tersisa. Atletico Madrid bermain di final Copa del Rey, Jumat.
NOT even an injury to Lionel Messi in the 2-1 victory over Atletico Madrid on Sunday could dampen Barcelona´s celebrations at winning its 22nd Spanish league title.
Messi started his first match in six rounds because of a recurring right hamstring injury, but he left the field in the 68th minute with Barcelona trailing 1-0 to Radamel Falcao´s 52-minute goal and having made all three substitutions.
However, Alexis Sanchez leveled in the 72nd and Atletico midfielder Gabi Fernandez scored an own goal in the 80th to restart Barcelona´s party for winning the title that was clinched when Real Madrid drew late Saturday.
Barcelona can match Madrid´s record haul of 100 points it if wins its remaining three matches.
