He must have slipped like 6 times, think the pitch had something to do with it as well though.

That nutmeg was immense, it was perfectly executed, he waited until just the right moment to take his touch...

And it's amazing the consistency of his finishing, he makes it look like it's a kids business be it a chip over the keeper or blasting it through...

He was like this at one point in the first half:

Something was really off with the pitch last night.

Damn that last chance.

did it rain in barcelona yesterday?

They showed closeup from Messi's boots when he had just walked into the pitch at second half, and they were already full of wet grass.

Messi could have easily scored the 1st goal but instead chose to pass to Villa who really appreciates it after having a bad season healthwise. And then he returns the favor to Messi for the 2nd goal. Look at how happy they were. We don't need no forward for next 2 years. If Messi and Villa link-up continues like this with Alexis/Pedro supporting - we can score 3 goals ever match at least. Get some quality CB first.

 

[Keikoku]

Is that Alba who nearby Messi when he scored 2nd goal?

 

[Doobs]

The pitch was over watered last night. Uncharacteristic off the groundskeepers.

 

[CatalinR10]

Would have been such a great goal

There was some rain in the second half aswell. Only for a brief period of time maybe 10 minutes, tops. Great game, Messi and Villa combined superb hopefully they can keep on going.

And they ask how he would play in a counter formation, if you are used to facing 4 guys then 1 isnt a big deal.
Poor Rayo defender never had a chance.

We see him playing counterattacking football with Argentina under Sabella.
