Messi, always Messi | MDZ online

FC Barcelona take another step towards the league title thanks to another blow from Leo Messi, who scored two goals scored 2-0 at Espanyol at Camp Nou, a tight match on the 29th day of LaLiga Santander but three points that keep inertia in the lead.

Those of Ernesto Valverde provisionally extend to 13 points of difference compared to Atletico Madrid, which plays this Saturday night in Vitoria. After the break for selections and in an hour – 16:15 – this usually brings something thick in the game Barca, Barca solved via Messi.

The "10", who had doubts about some embarrbadment, scored 30 goals in the Liga with 20 minutes before the end, with a subtle shot over the barrier, which allowed Víctor Sánchez to do not avoid the game. 1-0. In fact, between the captain of Perico and Diego Lopez, the frustration is great, because he found the Argentine as executioner in the Catalan derby. Argentina also qualified 2-0 on the clock, leaving Espanyol with a win in six games, pending the move away from the low zone.

The leader returned to work with the typical possession game, but against a rival with two lines of five well trained. Barca had no holes, no rhythm to find them. Meanwhile, against the Rubi team had his arrivals, raising the big level behind Lenglet. The French center cuts off all visitor attempts, more protagonist than a center stitched eyes.

The Catalan statements in a humor program warmed the atmosphere and shook a Espanyol who stayed in the party until the end. The azulgrana square puck scored the goal, but the opportunities were unclear, always looking for Alba or Semedo, or rather forced by the rival to play in groups. A lack of recovery at Víctor Sánchez was the most dangerous of Valverde, while Coutinho and Luis Suárez were halfway in their attempts.

The local coach had opted for his eleven gala, but Espanyol lived comfortably, albeit a little folded. The match was indeed a torture for Borja Iglesias, while Barca leaned on the typical duel of support and defense of the opponent. Melendo had the first goal of the second period, prevented by a Lenglet who was also in charge of Wu Lei at his entrance.

The Chinese striker and Sergio Garcia have changed Rubi's third to look for the shot after controlling the previous hour, but Messi has escaped for the umpteenth time. Argentina committed direct foul 1-0 and, in need and I can not visitor, sentenced to the counter who pitched Ter Stegen well attended by a Malcom who had already met Messi shortly before. There are 31 goals in 29 games for the captain of a Barça who has the league firmly tied.
