Messi proved he was human just before half-time, however.

Barca were given a penalty of their own when Layvin Kurzawa felled Antoine Griezmann in the box.

But his effort was poor and Keylor Navas was equal to it as he pushed the ball onto the bar and away from safety.

The half finished 1-1, meaning Barcelona needed to score at least three goals in the second half to have any chance of going through.
