BARCELONA (Reuters) - Lionel Messi's 92nd minute winner against Real Madrid has given Barcelona's title bid a shot in the arm, coach Luis Enrique said on Tuesday, while warning his side that they can ill afford any slip-ups as they seek a third straight La Liga crown.

The Argentine's last-gasp strike on Sunday shunted the Catalans ahead of Real at the top of the standings due to their superior head-to-head record although Real, level with the leaders on 75 points, have a game in hand.
