Yesterday, Barcelona beat Elche with a comfortable 3-0, with 2 goals from Messi and then the third goal from Alba helped by a beautiful pre-assist from Messi. Messi's stats were the following: 2 goals, 1 pre-assist, 1 big chance created, 2 SOT (3 in total), 4 dribbles, 2 key passes, 6 ground duels won, 1 foul received, 1 tackle, 7 pressures, 57 passes and 90 touches, another 10/10 performance from the GOAT. Also, according to some sources, he has equalled Romário's 728 goal tally, another step forward.
Here is a video compiling his excellent performance:
Although the first half could have been better, the second half would prove to be the wake-up call for Barça, especially after Messi's first goal. And speaking of Messi's goals, he is currently leading the Pichichi race with 18 goals, 2 ahead of Suárez, and the odds are looking good to reach his 8th Pichichi, which would be wonderful.
Barça's next game will be certainly tough, as they'll be facing Sevilla. It will be a crucial game not only because of the opponent they're facing, but also because they're only 2 points ahead with 1 more game. But until then, see you in the next entry!
