Bar a couple of instances where he was unlucky, I thought it was poor finishing on the night. Tried too hard to perfect the
goal, that never came. Way too many touches on the final hurdle that saw the chance go begging. Otherwise, his dribbling and interplay was a treat to watch. Nice one touch play with Iniesta for his goal.
Why didn't Pep take him out, when we were 2-0 up ...I saw Messi limping at one point. I hope it's nothing serious.
Pep wanted him to get a goal as he was obviously working hard for it. Pep usually lets him play till the final whistle unless it's something serious, and also because Leo wishes to. He does 've a say on this matter. Pep wouldn't risk upsetting his best player now, would he?! But yeh, it comes from his eagerness and desire to keep playing and Pep keeps him happy.
