The best possible way to close a grey first-half and in which the Juventus has had some opportunities to advance . Goal and rest. Leo Messi has marked the first goal of the Barcelona group in front of the Italian club, beating like this for the first time to Buffon.
It was one of these 'records' that Messi still had not beaten. Almost any goalkeeper resisted him , but one was the Italian, and this Tuesday has finished with the curse after an unappealable shot with the left leg pegadita to the stick and crusade, leaving to Buffon like a statue. The Argentinian has marked after a beautiful association with Suárez. And in the frontal of the area already know that it is infalible.
Messi has gone back to occupy a position resembled the one who has gone having up to now with Valverde. Total freedom to move by the centre, in zone of attack, with light tendency to displace to the right to receive -although here it is Dembélé-.
A crucial goal for the Barça, that will have to keep the solidity in the second half to add the three points. To the Barcelona club no gives him at all badly the first day of the phase of groups in the Champions. In fact, from the year 1997 in front of the Newcastle (3-2) does not lose in the première of the competition. If we limit the frame of time, in the last ten years has won in seven occasions and empatado in three.
Pichichi In the League
The season could not have begun better for Leo Messi. The great Argentinian star already five goals in hardly three parties and leads the classification of the pichichi of the League in solitary. And this that in front of the Betis signed three sticks, by what podria carry any more. In the Champions already has wetted. To be followed.
