The hero of always: Leo Messi saved FC Barcelona and kept him alive in La Liga

by

FC Barcelona started the series of decisive games with the right foot what have you got this week and defeated – not without problems – Elche at Camp Nou with a score of 3-0.

Two flashes from Leo Messi, which already has eighteen points with the two tonight and is the top scorer of the championship, and one from Jordi Alba, all in the second half, gave the victory to the Catalans to reduce the advantage of the two Madrid teams in La Liga.

Messi unblocked a match that had the same scent as the previous one with two goals and one assist and he saved his team, which is now five points behind Atlético de Madrid (one match less) and two points behind Real Madrid.

Barcelona a team without soul during the first half. Ronald Koeman’s team seemed ‘dull’ after the hits against Paris Saint Germain and Cádiz. Predictable in attack and weak behind. This Barcelona is perfect for any team to save their season with a road victory against the culé team.

The Catalan team had problems with construction: Pjanic gives no agility to the game, de Jong had no arrivals from behind, Pedri barely defected; Y Messi? He walked – literally – the entire first 45.

Koeman rightly sought the landing of Dembele at halftime. Barça was more recognizable and practical in the first action of the second half, in a great combination between Braithwaite and Messi, the Catalans scored, Messi unraveled the game and sentenced it 15 minutes later after a great play by De Jong.

To post final figures, Braithwaite, also one of Wednesday’s highlights, gave his second assist goal of the game, this time for Alba to close the game.
