Lionel Messi Produced A Moment Of Brilliance Vs. Betis As He Dribbled Past Four Opponents

Lionel Messi's dribbling is just on another level.

The Argentina great returned to Barcelona's starting XI following an injury he sustained against Sevilla. He broke his arm, ruling him out for a few weeks.

But on Sunday, Messi made a swift return to Ernesto Valverde's fold. He started in attack but was unable to inspire his side to victory.

However, he did score a brace not to mention producing a moment of sheer brilliance in the first half.

In the 15th minute, Messi weaved his way past four defenders in sublime and stunning fashion. Time to gawk:

Unfortunately for Messi and Barcelona, he didn't find the back of the net though fans certainly enjoyed it.

Despite Barcelona boasting Messi's services, visitors Real Betis secured all three La Liga points by beating their hosts 4-3 in a epic fixture.

Messi then pulled one back from the spot. Giovani Lo Celso restored Betis' two goal lead. Arturo Vidal continued the frenzied pace by getting on the score-sheet, too.

Sergio Canales made it four as Messi bagged a late consolation.
