Messi sat on the bench alongside Ivan Rakitic and Gerard Pique and although Barca got off to a flying start with two early goals they were pegged back by struggling Villarreal, prompting Valverde to turn to him with the score tied at 2-2. “Football is incredible,” hailed the front cover of Spanish newspaper Marca, while daily Mundo Deportivo said Suarez’s late strike was “a goal that is worth the league title”.
Barca midfielder Carles Alena meanwhile was in awe at his teammate’s free kick. “It was spectacular, a wonder goal, something that only he could do,” he said.
