Never, Ever Celebrate In Front Of Lionel Messi

Luis Muriel found out the hard way.

Sevilla were on the brink of bagging three surprising La Liga points against Barcelona, and on the verge of inflicting their first league defeat of the season.

But Lionel Messi had other ideas - who else?!

During the international break, Messi wasn't risked. Sitting out games versus Italy then Spain.

He wasn't deemed fit enough to start for Barcelona on Saturday. Though, he entered the fray in the 58th minute with his side two down courtesy of Franco Vazquez and Luis Muriel.

And Muriel celebrated his goal in front of Messi. Just the motivation needed to complete a stunning comeback.

Luis Suarez replied before Messi netted moments later to make the score 2-2.

Never celebrate in front of Messi, lads.
