Lionel Messi feels Barcelona have taken an important step towards winning LaLiga with their sensational 3-2 win over Real Madrid at Santiago Bernabeu, but has warned they still have a long way to go.

“We went to the Bernabeu looking for a win to keep ourselves in the battle for the LaLiga title,” Messi wrote on his official Facebook account.

“There is still a long way to go, but we came away with the joy of having taken an important step.”
