Barcelona striker Lionel “Leo” Messi converted from the spot to double the lead for Catalans, at the crack of 60 minutes at Santiago Bernabeau on Saturday evening. Messi would then provide an assist to his teammate Aleix Vidal in the strangest fashion.

After having made runs in the Real Madrid box, Messi lost his shoe on his right foot and drifted the ball wide to enable Vidal to hammer past Keylor Navas. While ‘shoeless’ Messi would grab the international headlines as the man of the match, there are other achievements that the ‘little’ Argentine forward wrote as well.
