Lionel Messi’s late penalty saw bedraggled Barcelona scrape a 2-1 victory over Leganes on Sunday at a divided Nou Camp as the La Liga champion looked as if it had still not recovered from its harrowing midweek defeat to Paris St. Germain.
Messi scored both the goals, slotting home the crucial 90th minute spot kick to earn an undistinguished victory that keeps its title hopes alive.
