Thirteen Seconds to Go

El Clasico, April 23, 2017 ... 2-2. Just 2 minutes added of injury time. After carrying the ball from their own defensive corner, Barza pass the ball clear of the Madrid high pressing and Sergi Roberto carries the ball diagonally for 50 + yards. Andre Gomez passes the ball deep to Jordi Alba. Pique and Rakitic are in the box waiting for the cross. In just 20 seconds, Barcelona had put themselves in a near scoring position.

13 seconds left... Jordi decides to go for the cut back pass to Messi. Like so many other times. And Lionel doesn' t disappoint. In the dying seconds, in a heroic way, Messi found the net and grabbed the late winner. His explosion was instant. A few seconds later, the Bernabeu would see his #10 jersey floating in the air. Inmortalized moments of el Clasico's history.
