Messi produces 3 assists as Barcelona edge Real Betis in 5-goal thriller

Barcelona ace Lionel Messi proved the difference as he produced three assists to lead a comeback for a 2-3 victory over Real Betis on Sunday night at the Estadio Benito Villamarin.

While the Argentine was unable to find a way past Betis goalkeeper Joel Robles, he set the table for teammates Frenkie de Jong, Sergio Busquets and Clement Lenglet to score as Barcelona twice came from behind to claim all three points in Andalusia.

Barcelona‘s performance, particularly in the first half, will do little to quell the doubts surrounding the squad, but a strong second half and a character-building comeback win should help the confidence at the Camp Nou.

Sergio Canales and Nabil Fekir struck for the hosts, but it wasn’t enough as Messi produced another masterclass.
