Adversity reveals genius, prosperity conceals it. - Horace
In the end the Little Genius on the Pitch made the big difference. It was the 93rd minute, the fans were losing hope but still called for a last push, the players almost gave up, Barca has conjured up a way to give up a healthy two goal lead, many fellow cules switched off their TV, I almost did till I saw the determination of Lionel Messi; so I decided to wait for the final whistle and that was the best decision I made for some time. Let's be honest, had it not been for Lionel Messi we would be sitting and thinking how we managed to end up losing two points. In a way that's cruel on other players, for most of the match most of them were better than the Argentinian. I don't think we have seen Messi playing this crap in some time. It was horrible to watch him in the first half, constantly losing possession, every attempted mazy run getting blocked, over hitting deliveries; it wasn't the Lionel we knew! On the contrary the newcomer Neymar simply majestic, he was terrorising any player defending on the left; at times they simply gave up; he was simply magical. But in the end had it not been for the Argentinian his whole hard work would have gone to waste.
