Lionel Messi makes history, scores 500th goal for Barcelona

The La Liga title race has been blown wide open again after Barcelona's 3-2 win over rivals, Real Madrid on Sunday night at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The dramatic victory sandwiched with goals from Casemiro in the 28th minute, Lionel Messi in the 33rd minute,
Ivan Rakitic in the 73rd minute, James Rodriguez (2nd half substitute) in the 86th minute, before Lionel Messi's superb winner in the last minute of extra-time- keeps Barcelona’s chances of winning the league alive. 

Zinedine Zidane can be forgiven for playing the latter part of the game with ten men after Sergio Ramos' red card but the loss was purely his fault with his tactical decisions in critical points during the game leaving much to be desired.

Barcelona is now level at the top of the table after the win with the Spanish giants now holding a better head-to-head against their rivals.
