Messi is already Pichichi after the double of the Molinón

Barca regained the desired punch and the crack squad made act of presence in achieving the first victory in the League

Barca the lead was under suspicion in Molinón. With Henry absent due to illness and Bojan relegated to the bench, all eyes were aimed, firstly to Etoo and Messi. Of the players were expected to break the rival and track his goals with their first victory so far this league. And it was so. Barca shone as it had not done so to date.

Dominoes and offered intensity in his game as always, but he defined as long he is not remembered in the official party. And there again to see Leo Messi. The Argentine did not go quite fine, though the Sporting returned to verify that the Argentine star ever that loitering the area with the ball is controlled devastating.

Only three days have elapsed from the championship and, despite the fact that the club has been questioned for its lack of punch, the truth is that the Barca striker has three targets to his credit and shares Pichichi in the league next to colchonero Sinama Pongolle and the striker Negredo of Almeria. "This is the least of. I said that we should remain calm because we know the group we have and the results had to go. Not There is reason to nerves, "he said.

Messi jumped to a field goal hungry and I tried from the beginning. Even dared to try his luck with his right leg, something most unusual in Argentina. But had to wait for the second time to find the most awaited reward. Two splendid assists in charge of Iniesta and Xavi allowed him to connect an accurate header and an impressive zurdazo before that nothing could do Sergio Sanchez goal.

Were lace of the win and his first double this season. Two goals that he perched up the Pichichi and that should help defuse some criticism that he had received in this boot campaign. "All that I am not concerned. I got my game and try to improve it, but the important thing is that the other day in the Champions League we play well and win. Now, in the league, and that is repeated signal that we do things right."
