Barca get an 85 minute penalty and Messi gives the penalty to Neymar who had a bad game. It would have been a hattrick and he would have had a 2 goal lead over Ronaldo in the league. That's why Messi is liked way more than Ronaldo.

lol. Come on now. Messi has had his share of being selfish. What Ronaldo did last week is being blown out of proportion.

Looks like Messi, Neymar and Suarez will all score above 20 goals this season at this rate.

This isn't the first time he did this though. He's done it many times before to Ibrahimovic to Neymar earlier in the season to Mascherano etc when they're having bad games. He obviously cares about scoring goals, but he prioritizes team morale over individual achievments.
