The difference for Messi between Barcelona and Argentina

  /  autty

Late on in Argentina's defeat against Venezuela Lionel Messi was served a perfect example of just how different life is when playing for his country compared to Barcelona.

Dario Benedetto had a number of defenders on him and Messi made a perfect run around the back, with a clear path for a pass open for the Boca Juniors forward.

But Benedetto's execution of the backheel pass left much to be desired, as he ended up kicking against himself and ending the attack.

Social media didn't take long to respond, mocking the Boca Juniors frontman and drawing unfavourable comparisons with Luis Suarez.

The Uruguayan had found himself in an almost identical situation the previous weekend against Real Betis, from which he perfectly slipped a pass to the No.10 to score.
