The Barcelona star has described the defeat as a 'f***** up day' and vowed to 'get up and go' ahead of the second leg in Madrid on Wednesday.

The caption translates to, 'F***** up day but you have to get up and go. This is just starting.'
Messi leveled the game with a penalty to cancel out Gerard Pique's own goal, but two stunning late strikes from Ronaldo, who was later sent off for a second yellow card, and Marco Asensio secured a resounding win for Zinedine Zidane's side.
