Lionel Messi and Barcelona showed what teamwork means. In a match of the Spanish football championship against the Celta Vigo team, the 28-year-old Argentine stepped up to take an eleven-meter penalty kick but made an unexpected pass to Luis Suarez.
Suarez ran to the ball and scored the third goal of the match, with Barcelona leading 4-1 in the 81st minute.
If L. Messi had scored the penalty himself, it would have been his 300th goal in the Primera Liga.
Barcelona won the match 6-1 and continues to dominate in Spain. It was their 30th match in a row without a loss.
After the match, Brazilian Neymar admitted that Barcelona players had practiced the technique of taking an eleven-meter penalty kick many times during training.
"But this time, after the pass, I hesitated. Suarez was closer and scored the goal," - said Neymar after the match.
