Leo Messi visited Portugal with the aim to mark his goal number 100 in the Champions League. The Argentinian, that did a doublet in front of the Juventus, had win and went out decided to do it, but did not have sufficient opportunities and those that had were toneless shots. The clearest, an action inside the area that finished him covering Coentrao.
Messi did a correct party, surely no brilliant, going back to move by all the field how and when wanted to. The '10' read well the attacks, drew assistances of fantasy and did intelligent readings as it is habit. But it could not mark and it remains with two goals, by three of Cristiano.
But this neither removes him the dream to Messi, that sees like the Barça great eight victories in eight parties and is leader so much in the League as in the Champions. A start of unthinkable course surely after the Supercopa. But Valverde is handling the changing room of form sensacional.
But there is not because concern, Messi will have an opportunity próximamente. And in front of a rival that will be practically desahuciado, the Olympiacos Greek, with a defence quite endeble. The star could arrive to this round figure the Wednesday 18 October, when the Barça will receive to the red devils.
Pipe to frame
Messi gave us another delicatessen of those that can see in loop all day until you sleep you. The Argentinian started in a counterattack and drew a pipe sensacional. Later it opened to the left band for Rakitic, but the Croat did not give it back well and the transition went to the garete.
