The Barcelona could not mark in the first-half in front of the Sporting of Portugal but yes had several opportunities, especially with Messi, that no atinó and made toneless shots to the doll or a played fantastic inside the area took it out to him Coentrao when already it had it everything of face. 

But the Argentinian yes gave us another delicatessen of those that can see in loop all day until you sleep you. Messi 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.

Messi left without words to the Portuguese stadium, conscious that it had seen a played of a very beautiful bill. Neither inmutó, as it is usual in him. The '10' tried it all the while and is still in this role of 'freedom of movements', with Suárez something more opened in the left band and today Sergi Roberto in the right extreme.

Besides, as we have explained, Messi has equalised this Wednesday to Carles Puyol like third player with more parties played in the Catalan club. Neither more neither less than 593, a really incredible figure. And has 'alone' 30 years. What is for coming still is a lot of -expect-.

An atrocity 

It is clear that Leo Messi surprises us split after party. The pipe in front of the Sporting is of a very high difficulty, taking into account that the Argentinian is in full transition and has to execute this movement with a technician near at hand of some elected. And with intention, at all of at random.
