Cometh the hour, cometh the man.Lionel Messi was in scintillating form during Sunday night’s highly-anticipated Clasico at the Santiago Bernabeu, scoring two goals as Barcelona recorded a dramatic, last-gasp 3-2 victory over bitter rivals Real Madrid.The Argentina international produced a Man of the Match performance, firing his side back into contention for the Primera División title in the process.This wasn’t a game that Barça were expected to win.Recent results had been poor and they crashed out of the Champions League just four days earlier. Morale was low and, to make matters worse, Neymar was still suspended after Spain’s Court of Arbitration for Sport failed to hold their planned meeting on Saturday.Real Madrid, on the other hand, were riding the crest of a wave following their 4-2 victory over Bayern Munich. Even if they couldn’t beat Barcelona, very few people expected Zinedine Zidane’s side to lose.But Los Blancos know better than any other team on the planet that Barça are a formidable - perhaps even unstoppable - outfit when Messi hits top gear.And the five-time Ballon d’Or winner was in one of those moods on Sunday.
