Medics attend to female Villarreal fan slammed in the face by Messi shot as Barcelona stumble (video)

• Lionel Messi wasn’t at his imperious best on Sunday as Barcelona ceded a two-goal advantage to draw 2-2 at Villarreal.

Not only did the Argentine superstar fail to find the net or contribute an assist, he also appeared to leave his scoring boots at home, and was guilty of several wayward efforts.

One, in particular, proved particularly devastating for a Villarreal fan.

In the 15th minute, Messi sent in a powerful left-foot effort from outside the area which flew over the Villarreal goal and—unfortunately—into the face of a poor Yellow Submarine fan sat in the stands.
