A win for the home side would have virtually assured them the league title with five matches left to play, and as early as the first minute there was controversy as Ral Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo went down after a challenge from Samuel Umtiti in the Barcelona penalty area.
"Messi was decisive, as always he always is", Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen said.
Messi's second goal at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium on Sunday was a last-minute victor that gave him 500 career goals with Barcelona, and he was honored for the milestone before the Osasuna game, with a huge banner displayed on the stands with the words "Thank you Leo". There is not a lot to talk about him.
With only five games before the end of the season, the coach prefers to focus on beating Osasuna on Wednesday at the Camp Nou stadium here.

"Messi had a good game". He has scored 14 goals in his last 10 Spanish league games, and is the competition's leading scorer with 31 goals, seven more than teammate Luis Suarez and 12 more than Ronaldo. The last time he had scored against Madrid was with a hat trick at the Bernabeu in a 4-3 win in the league in 2014.
Ramos saw red for a two-footed challenge on Messi with 13 minutes remaining and the five-time Ballon d'Or victor came back to haunt Madrid after settling the Clasico in the second minute of stoppage time.
There was a great atmosphere in the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium as Madrid looked to dominate Barca, and their pressure was rewarded in the 28th minute when Casemiro put them ahead, bundling the ball over the goal line following a corner. Messi eventually was shown a yellow card for taking off his shirt. His [second] goal was also his 500th and he's playing for an incredible club.
