00:00to strike it 25 meters the distance is going to be messy and uh well saved again by Chitty
00:08Thola Tana so kick to Union Deportiva that one curling away probably would have just
00:19snuck inside the posts well saved by Chitty Thola you could really hear the slap as it hit the
00:29back for Messi gets away from Vieira gets into the box trying to take on too many men Rakitic with
00:36a
00:36shot and a fine safe from Chitty Thola an impact yeah exactly as you'd expect when you could bring
00:42on the likes of Andres Iniesta and Ivan Rakitic is always gonna make a big change what I was saying
00:47to you earlier Simon is that I've been impressed with Ernesto Valvetta as well it's ballsy decisions
00:56back of the net Sergio Busquets at the near post he brought to football club Barcelona this season
01:01is set piece work Busquets just getting there ahead of Borja Herrera is plenty is considerably taller
01:10than the left back and showed plenty of determination there glancing so he's gone two and a bit seasons
01:19without a goal finally back in the goals Sergio Busquets and it's a good one and there's another
01:25opportunity for Barca it was Leo Messi there the ball very skillful takes on players on that occasion
01:32had a shot just curling away instead of towards the far post but as you say a good strike and
01:36a good
01:37opportunity this one also a great opportunity for Leo Messi you'd expect him to do better from there
01:41really he's got so many goals last Palmas looking to respond this is Tanani gets into the area gets away
01:53from
01:53Mascherano the man who was probably their best performer in the first half Tanani I've been really impressed with
01:59him he's strong right foot on him as the Uruguayan is Lemos just raising rising above the bar there
02:12no work for Mark Ter Stegen to do he was worried at one stage I think Ter Stegen
02:19never scored more than one goal in the season Messi over the top it comes through to Suarez still Suarez
02:25holding on to it under pressure still Suarez looking for the option and finally the head of Leo Messi
02:32his importance to the side it's not all about scoring goals look at this movement it's absolutely
02:37superb it's an excellent ball of course over the top as well but then when he does pick up possession
02:42he's clever enough to take on the defender putting across pick out Messi with almost
02:48a pinpoint perfect cross Messi's on the penalty spot should have hit the target
02:56this is what you were mentioning the lack of this in the second half suddenly last Palmas with a long
03:02possession it's Jonathan Vieta's shot in the end which didn't threaten Mark Ter Stegen but once again
03:08that composure on the ball from the visitors
03:14it's a little bit too near the keeper once more yeah and he just cut his angle down there Leo
03:29Messi it
03:30was going to be very difficult to beat Chichi Sola from that kind of angle maybe a little back heel
03:36for
03:36and yes it would have been nice there she picks his pocket nicely Suarez back to Messi
03:46Suarez little touch on to India step beautiful ball to Rakitic it was a little bit slow insane
03:53me play from Barcelona on the edge of the last Palmas box there yeah really neat play an excellent from
03:59Leo Messi chasing back to win the ball back and it was almost vintage football club
04:05didn't that move Dennis one is with the corner it falls the messy just saw it going
04:18Rakitic Dennis
04:21open ball through the middle to Leo Messi
04:28every single week what a brilliant piece of skill first it's a fantastic run and a really
04:33really good pass as well by Dennis Suarez those two link up very well but that skill to take it
04:38around the goalkeeper
04:39it's almost as if he's not there it's you've got to feel a little bit sorry for
05:03three meters away from the action with one flick of his left
05:08Messi
05:10I'll get away brilliantly from Aquilani
05:12Rakitic
05:14Suarez
05:16and then suddenly Leo Messi gets the ball changes the gear and changes everything and eventually changes the scoreline makes
05:28it three nil brilliant passage of
05:30play wonderful little pass from from Suarez
05:33from the Uruguayan because he gets the ball
05:36quickly from from Rakitic and just fix it on immediately into the path of Leo Messi
05:40who knew that ball was coming
05:42continued his run and slotted the
05:45so he hasn't got that continuity in the side
05:49Jonathan Vienna finding Tannani
05:51Tannani thinking about the shot he twists and turns to get away from Rakitic
05:55pulls it across the face of the goal and just wide
05:58deserves a goal Tannani for his performance today I think
06:01he's been really really impressive
06:03he really has
06:04he's been really impressed
06:08he's been really impressed
06:08he's been really impressed
