Messi's one goal outshines Ronald's hat-trick as FC Barcelona are crowned the winners of La Liga 2014/15.
On Saturday, FC Barcelona went head to head against Deportivo for a final face-off. Alongside was Real Madrid against Getafe, Los Blancos were second on the chart fighting for the title. Even though Barca topped the chart after their victory against Atletico Madrid, the last match was quite thrilling as Deportivo did not go down without a fight. Another reason why the match was a memorable match for all Barca fans was that it was the last match played on Camp Nou for Xavi Hernandez.
Before the match began Barca fans showed an amazing tifo in gratitude to the Barca legend Xavi.
Messi was the hailed saviour and proved why with his early goal at five minutes into the game. Deportivo held their ground as the match went to half time with Barca having a 1-0 lead. Luis Suarez missed the match due to injury caused during the match against Atletico Madrid. Thomas Vermaelen who was out of practically every game of the season due to injury, made his debut in the starting XI for Barca.
Second half showed clear signs of careless play form Barca after Messi scored a second at 59th minute. Sloppy defending lead to Barca renouncing the game when Deportivo scored two goals from Lucas at 67th minute and at 76th minute by Salmao. The match kept on getting more and more thrilling at each stage... Especially in the last few minutes when the home team kept on drilling into Deportivo defence for an away goal.
Amidst all this excitement, Barca fans had their eyes stuck on home boy Xavi. Bracing themselves for a goodbye. Barca players were setting up Xavi for one last goal but fate had other plans. The match ended with a draw 2-2 and Barca were still two points atop arch-nemesis Real Madrid. The score table had FC Barcelona with 94 pts, Real Madrid with 92 pts and Atletico Madrid at 3rd place with 78 pts.
