In the final seconds of the legendary El Clasico match Sunday, the Barcelona striker ripped the game-winning goal into the bottom left corner of the net to lift his club to a 3-2 win over La Liga rival Real Madrid.

Messi also made history in the process, as the tally was the 500th of his career. He’s the all-time leading scorer in El Clasico history with 23 goals.

Barcelona and Real Madrid are deadlocked at 75 points atop the La Liga standings with five weeks remaining in the season.
