The draw leaves Barcelona a point behind league leaders Real Madrid who still have a game in hand.
⭐️ @FCBarcelona knew they had a star when @10Ronaldinho urged them to hand a 17-year-old his pro debut. Who, though, could have imagined that within 16 years he would have scored 700 goals for club & country?
