He's done well i think, again from replay..
On the scoring dept, the gk made 2 excellent saves imo. Messi has done nothing wrong in his shots.
Another one of messi's effort was a beautiful chip, really close from goal.
Only one of them is somewhat disappointing, a keypass from griez, maybe he really has that dislike towards him (i wont let you get your assist, man .. jk).
What's important is that we're winning.
And the first assist is great understanding play from messi and de jong. I think from the new signings, it is de jong who has barca dna, his two goals that i can remember are neat teamwork goals.
And for the record, messi has booked 15 assists this season in all competition. 19 goals 15 assists not bad at all in the overall category. I think 30 goals 20 assists is doable at this moment.
Interesting fact: when's the last time ronaldo exceed messi's assist in a season? 2006-07 season
When's the last time ronaldo exceed messi's goals+assists in a season? 2013-14 season
