Unbelievable Messi Goal Cancels Out Real Madrid Opener

El Clasico is off to a hot start. It's 1-1 at the half via goals from Casemiro and Messi.

The Brazilian defensive midfielder opened the scoring with a rebound from a Sergio Ramos chance.

GOOOOAL!

Barcelona were having a tough time finding ways through Real Madrid's defense until Messi did what Messi does. He's that good even after bleeding from the mouth after being elbowed (incidentally, it seems) by Marcelo.
