Pro soccer star player Lionel Messi just saved his team FC Barcelona in their 11th Spanish La Liga encounter against Athletic Bilbao when it ended in a 2-2 draw. FC Barcelona had went into the game looking to take three points from it but they were denied that chance when Gerard Pique scored an own goal during its 2nd half. Midfielder Ander Herrera had scored a goal for the home team during the 20th minute but former Arsenal F.C. player Cesc Fabregas answered it with an equalizer 4 minutes after that.
The game looked shaky for the Spanish Primera giants Barcelona when their own defender netted a nice goal against them. Just in the dieing minutes, savior Lionel Messi registered his name on the score sheet to give his team at least 1 point from the game. Barcelona are currently seated at the 2nd spot of the league table, have 25 points from playing only 11 games and trail behind the impressive Real Madrid C.F. which score 7 goals against Osasuna in their 11 match of the season as well.
