That’s right -- instead of scoring himself, Messi laid the ball off for an onrushing Luis Suarez to score. Suarez was sitting on a hat trick, so it makes sense in that regard. They can get away with wanting to give him the goal because it’s Messi and they’re freaking Barcelona and they do what they want.
And how did Messi earn that penalty, you ask? You’ll want to see this.
