Lionel Messi snatched a late winner to give his side a 1-2 win at Atletico Madrid on Sunday which provisionally took the champions top of La Liga. Rafinha had put Luis Enrique's side ahead against the run of play in the 63rd minute but Godin nodded in Koke's free kick to level in the 70th.

Barca made a timid start and had goalkeeper Marc-Andre Ter Stegen to thank for impressive saves in either half. Just as he had done the week before at Leganes, however, Messi grabbed all the points for his side, producing an instinctive near-post finish in the 87th minute following a free kick.

Boosted by their 4-2 win at Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League, Atletico made a dominant start, surrounding Barca's area and pouncing on any mistake.

A misplaced pass out from Ter Stegen was quickly intercepted and led to Antoine Griezmann getting an early shot in but Barca defender Samuel Umtiti got his body in the way.

Ter Stegen denied Griezmann on several occasions, leaping to the top corner to tip a thumping first-half shot over the bar and then thwarting the France striker with his knee after the break.

Down the other end, Atletico's Jan Oblak turned away a curling Messi free kick to announce his return after 10 weeks out injured, while Luis Suarez had a goal ruled out for a foul in a goalmouth scramble.

It took a scrappy strike from Rafinha to break the deadlock, the Brazilian firing into the far corner when the ball bounced fortuitously towards him, while Messi also benefited from a lucky ricochet to settle the game late on.
