The Argentine scored twice for Barcelona as the champions fought back from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Valencia in LaLiga on Saturday.
The Blaugrana captain was in inspired form after it looked as though Ernesto Valverde's call to shuffle his pack would see his side come away empty-handed as they deservedly trailed to efforts from Kevin Gameiro and Daniel Parejo.
The league leaders was pined down and Messi scored either side of half-time to clinch a point in a match packed with incident.
Atletico Madrid can now close to within three points of top spot if they beat Real Betis on Sunday, but Barca at least avoided embarrassment ahead of facing Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday.
