I mean even though Barca lost, he was fantastic last night. Specially, the first goal by him. I still can’t believe how he managed to keep the possession in that little space and then managed to put the ball in the net with right foot. Seriously, currently the only serious threat in Barca team is Messi. Minus Messi Barca is quite an average performing team this season. Messi has always been a performer in Barca team, but their dependency on him is more than ever this season.
