With his greatest rival having just netted five, Messi found himself suddenly three behind in the race for the golden boot. His response was to be kept firmly in the pockets of Sanchez and Upamecano. The Menace never got up to too much in the final third but they worked hard to muzzle the league’s most in-form team and will be pleased with a draw here, especially with the Dawgs breaking multiple times in the closing minutes. Schmeichel, having reclaimed his place in goal ahead of Bravo, earned a ‘bravo’ of his own.
