Yesterday, Barcelona beat Osasuna away 2-0 with an assist from Messi in both goals. Alba scored Barça's first goal with an amazing pass from Messi, and Ilaix Moriba made it 2-0 in the second half with another assist from Messi, his first professional goal as well. Messi's stats were: 2 assists, 5 dribbles, 2 SOT (5 in total), 6 key passes, 5 ground duels won, 4 pressures, 3 long balls, 1 cross, 62 passes and 92 touches, which meant yet another MoTM for Messi.
This was his performance on video:
The finishing was good, and most players from the team did a good performance, which is important for the morale because all points count from now on, having a very tight race between us, Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid.
This leaves Barcelona only 2 points behind Atlético Madrid, but they have 2 games in hand. Luckily, the Madrid derby is today, and if they both draw, it would be great news for Barcelona as they would both drop points. Also, Barcelona will face PSG in the following days for the second leg of the UCL R16, trying to comeback a 4-1 loss in Paris, which seems unlikely, but not impossible after seeing what happened with Sevilla.
