With their 4-0 defeat at the hands of Liverpool, Barcelona was at the receiving end of one of the biggest comebacks of European football.

None of the team’s big stars could help recover the lead and topping this list was Lionel Messi. After his insane free kick in the previous match, it was sad to see him not being able to score a single goal this time around.

But if the reports are anything to be believed, Messi’s night just got worse after the defeat as he was left behind by the team bus as other players left for the airport.
Messi was apparently giving a routine dope test, which took longer than usual and in the meanwhile, the bus left.
Special arrangements were later made to get him to the airport.
