Lionel Messi's late wonder goal earned Barcelona victory against Atletico Madrid at the Vicente Calderon as the Catalan giants put their away woes behind them to close the gap at the top of La Liga to 10 points.
Dani Alves scored the opening goal of the game in the 36th minute as the visitors looked good value for their lead at half-time yet Falcao grabbed a leveller four minutes after the restart.
Yet Messi came to the rescue in the 81st minute with a stunning free-kick to give Barcelona all three points against their unlucky opponents who competed well throughout.
The Catalans stay in second place and after Real Madrid's victory over Rayo Vallecano earlier in the day, they now sit 12 points behind Jose Mourinho's side
