Barcelona raced into a two-goal lead thanks to goals from Philippe Coutinho and Malcom.
However, Villarreal then scored four goals without reply to make it 4-2.
Samuel Chukwueze, Karl Toko Ekambi, Vicente Iborra and Carlos Bacca all got on the score-sheet with ex-Arsenal hero Santi Cazorla creating two goals.
' GOAL! '
Iborra flick, Cazorla through ball, Chukwueze finish (second time around)!

But Barcelona left it late as they rescued a point deep, deep into stoppage time.
Messi reduced the deficit after scoring yet another free-kick. He curled in a beauty on the edge of the box. He literally takes free-kicks like they're penalties.
' GOAL! '
LIONEL MESSI. He's scored another free-kick :cold_sweat:

The regularity with which Messi scores free-kicks. He fairly makes bits of every previous free-kick "specialist" in history.

' GOAL! '
