Barcelona's Spanish coach Ernesto Valverde conforts Barcelona's French defender Clement Lenglet at the end of the 2019 Spanish Copa del Rey (King's Cup). Messi drove the comeback effort and Goncalo Guedes twice should have wrapped it up for Valencia, missing a one-on-one and then an open goal before the final whistle sparked pandemonium. Ivan Rakitic volleyed and then headed wide, before Messi registered their first shot on target in the 43rd minute. Messi might have turned the match but after wriggling through his sumptuous flick towards the far corner brushed the post. The Valencia fans roared and then again when Messi was dispossessed by a sliding challenge.
