Barcelona star Lionel Messi pulled out yet another magic trick on Sunday, fooling six Espanyol defenders and leading Luis Suarez to the club’s second goal of the game in the process.

In the 67th minute, Messi got the ball and deked out four defenders, then got off a shot between two converging opponents which was saved by keeper Robert Gago. Suarez secured the rebound and put it home to give Barcelona a 2–0 lead.

The goal was the second of the game for Suarez. Jordi Alba would add a third goal later on to make the score 3–1.
