Calendar of FC Barcelona

Although it is true that the FC Barcelona had showed a big level of game during all the party in front of the Athletic, did not go until the minute 62, to fault of half hour for the end, when it sentenced the commitment with the 1-3. It could not be another that Leo Messi the attendant to put an end to the fight by the points, thanks to a played that initiated he same and that finish with a big pass of Griezmann of turn to the Argentinian.

Strong shot and high, at first, and help of the crossbar so that the balloon put inside the goal. It was the goal that confirmed definitively the three points for the FC Barcelona, further that the Basques achieved to reduce distances after an error of the own Messi in the minute 90. A without importance triviality, because the appointment did time that was resolved.

The case is that the assistance of 'Grizi' to Leo meant the first doublet of played of Messi this season 2020-21, and the ninth so much that annotates in LaLiga Santander this course. Nine goals with which equalises to his main rivals in the fight by the Pichichi, Luis Suárez, Gerard Moreno and Iago Sails.

Messi, in definite, seems to have begun the year 2021 more enchufado that never, so much he like Pedri and the big majority of his mates. The Barcelona achieved a victory of merits in the Day of Kings, that allows him plant already to five points of the Madrid and to seven of the Athletic, although it is true that the 'colchoneros' have two extra parties for contesting.
