The stadium erupted in thunderous applause as Barcelona took the early lead. Real Madrid attempted to respond, but Messi was in devastating form. Just minutes after his first goal, he doubled Barcelona’s advantage. This time, it was a trademark Messi move – a mazy dribble past several defenders before calmly slotting the ball past goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.

At the age of 33, he continues to defy time and cement his legacy as one of the greatest players of all time. For Real Madrid, the defeat was a harsh blow to their hopes of challenging Barcelona for the La Liga title. The Catalans now hold a commanding lead at the top of the table and are well on their way to securing their ninth title in the last 13 years.
