Messi, 25, appeared to pick up the problem after taking a strike on goal near the end of the first half of the match, shortly after he had netted the opening goal.

He was withdrawn at half-time and replaced by Cesc Fabregas.

A message on the club's official Twitter feed read: "Messi sustained an injury to his right hamstring. He will undergo further tests on Wednesday to determine the extent of the injury."
