The Barça sees no door. And one of its greatest exponents is Messi. The Argentine Pichichi was in the early days of League door watching with great ease. But he stayed stuck in the day thirteen.

Rijkaard clung to the Argentine to alleviate the great evil of Barcelona, the lack of scoring. It should be borne in mind that the team reached Sánchez Pizjuán with the baggage poorest of recent times, four goals in five matches, and that Messi is currently the footballer who is more in the form of staffing culé. But it seems to have been infected by the lack of success of the classroom. The attacker does not hold somewhat since last November 24, when it marked the Recreativo. Since then, are two and a half months without scoring.

Without Etoo without Bojan, with Ronaldinho on the bench the first part and with a lot of casualties, Rijkaard was forced to set up eleven with many changes and a significant change tactics. When more normal seemed that he was going to be a triplet attacker with Messi, Henry and Iniesta, the technician decided to align Giovanni despite his jet-lag, forcing Messi playing as a centre forward for the Mexican occupy your position natural and Henry could act on the left, where else is paying.

The demarcation Messi also led to a lack of understanding with Henry, as many times the two were at the centre of the attack culé. The usual permutations position among front barcelonistas not occurred and Giovanni were not separated from the band right.

Lionel Messi him frame two goals to Seville and I dedicate them to its Ronaldinho

friend After the controversy surguida by the exclusion of Ronaldinho of the Eleven initial, the team of Frank Rijkaard appeared with many doubts to recivir to the Seville, that venia of one defeats very painful in champions at the hands of the Arsenal.

In a very serious party of the Barça, with a defense very been accustomed to, a center of the capitaniado and completely controlled field by Yaya Toure, that every day consolidates but and but, and an advantage that ofrecio to bursts sparkles of the good soccer, I take the cat to the the 3 water and consigui puntos.

Once again the victory of Barcelona came preceded from a great performance of Lionel Messi, who without doubt is the present star of this Barça.

Lionel Messi frame both goals of the victory, first with a beautiful volea in the small Aryan, and the second of penalty. In the final minutes Kanouté I trim distance for the sevillistas, but single it was a mirage, because Barcelona I dominate the party of principle to aim.

The equipment of www.leo-messi.info deeper condolence to the family of Antonio Puerta.

Today as all the lovers of soccer we are of luto.
