FC Barcelona's Lionel Messi (in the picture) on his way to leveling the score against Werder Bremen during their Group A Champions League match in Bremen on Wednesday.
It was not a happy night for Barca, who trailed to a 56th minute own goal by captain Carles Puyol and then lost Cameroon striker Samuel Eto'o to a knee injury in a game where Werder had the upper hand.
Argentina teenager Messi spared the European champions' blushes a minute from time, working a one-two with Deco before threading the ball past goalkeeper Tim Wiese.
Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard said: "We fought hard and right up to the end and managed to come away with a good result...it was deserved."
