VALENCIA, Spain: Lionel Messi led Barcelona to a quick-fire comeback to win 3-2 at Valencia on Sunday and keep the pressure on La Liga title rivals Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid.

Messi saw his spot-kick saved by former team mate Jasper Cillessen but Valencia failed to clear the danger and the Argentine followed up to score on the second rebound in the 57th minute. Messi looked to have clinched the points in the 69th when he fired a freekick in off the post to score his 28th league goal of the season but Valencia got back into contention out of nowhere when midfielder Carlos Soler scored with an unstoppable strike from long range in the 83rd.

Next up for Barca is a potentially decisive match at home to Atletico in a huge weekend for the title race that also includes Real hosting Sevilla.
