Messi again on the scoring sheet for FC Barcelona |
FC BARCELONA defeated ATLETICO DE MADRID 3 - 0 that included a LIONEL MESSI HAT-TRICK which helps keeps Barça Spanish League table lead in tact & put further pressure on rivals & second placed Real Madrid that must win tomorrow to not allow the 7 point gap between both to further widen & practically sentence the Liga title in favour of Barça
With this said, Barça was simply too good tonight, an under statement as they are without much doubt the "Best Team in the World" at this moment & gave no real options to Atletico who looked on at how the ball moved around them from side to side & into the goal net. The 1 st half was all Barça with dim flashes of Atletico - sorry Aguero - & two goals from MESSI in the 17th & 28th min.
The 2nd half was more of the same with poetic movements from Barça that danced on the field & accompanied by the Football music MESSI scored his third & "Hat-Trick" in the 79th min. The rest was Barça dancing again until the end of the match. Lionel Messi overtakes - for the moment - Cristiano Ronaldo as the Spanish League leading goal-scorer with 24 goals to date.
Tomorrow the last three matches of Round 22 , including Real Madrid. Tweet
