Barcelona was known as Barca and it is a Spanish professional football club based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.

Barcelona Football club was behind by 2-4 on Tuesday night in La Liga against Villarreal. Lionel Messi scored free-Kick in the 90th minute of the match

Villarreal looked to have breathed life back into La Liga's title race after they came from 2-0 down to lead 4-2, but substitute Messi – who had been rested – and Suarez remarkably secured a share of the spoils to keep Barca eight points ahead of Atletico Madrid ahead of their meeting on Saturday.

A thrilling first half saw Barca race into a 2-0 lead against the run of play, with Philippe Coutinho and Malcom finding the net, but Samuel Chukwueze deservedly got Villarreal back in the contest after a rapid counter and a Marc-Andre tar Stegen error allowed Karl Toko Ekambi to level just after the break.

Goals from Vicente Iborra and Carlos Bacca appeared to put the contest beyond Barca, but Messi found the net with a brilliant free-kick in the 90th minute and Suarez broke Villarreal hearts in the third minute of stoppage time with a rasping finish.

Villarreal made a promising start, testing Ter Stegen twice inside the first 10 minutes, but Barca carved through it soon after – Malcom squaring across goal for Coutinho to finish. But Messi – shortly after the host's Alvaro Gonzalez was dismissed for a second booking – blasted a 20-yard free-kick into the top-left corner at the end of normal time.

And Suarez rescued Barca with almost the last kick of the game, his sweetly struck left-footed half-volley from 18 yards giving Sergio Asenjo no chance.

The 7th time rounded on free-kick, Messi was in the current season this is the best of his career. Messi made 12 rounds free-kick in the last 16 months. Highest in the world for the first time after 13 shots, goals were scored on free-kick in Messi 2008. In 11 consecutive seasons, Messi scored a free-kick. 32 free-kick goals on 407 shots.
