Match Report: Barcelona 3-2 Espanyol

It's all about the youngsters! Bojan, Pique—Pique, Bojan—we just can't choose between them. Both of them were just equally amazing last night.

Bo was mind-blowing, incredibly determined and incredibly dangerous as he played out his best match this season, leading Barca to victory. He scored Barca's first and second goals, and the second one was so amazing, Messi himself couldn't have finished it off more beautifully.
Bojan led the attack, and the defense was all about Pique; he was fast and alert and simply unstoppable, and even came ahead to score Barca's third goal with a wondrous header.

Daniel Alves will soon be giving Xavi a run for his money as the King of assists, because with every new match he's always there to create the chances and set up the goals, while still maintaining his defensive duties, and last night was no exception. Sergio Busquets was simply shining, and showed that he can be as good as Yaya Toure when it comes to thwarting the defense and gaining back possession.

As a whole, the team could have done better. This is a match in which general performance was wanting, but a few individual talents stood out. Bojan and Pique were the stars of the night, and this match is, for them, truly unforgettable. But Barca has to be careful, because the 3-0 lead turned swiftly into 3-2 after our players grew lazy. The boys got too comfortable with their lead and the pace simply slowed down, and if in this match it didn't make a difference in the outcome, in another it will. Also, Pinto was completely unimpressive, conceding what should have been an easy save and acting very slow on the whole...

But we're not going to let that mar our elation for Gigi and Bo. All the elements of exuberence, youth talent, blue eyes and hot hair are brought together in this magic duo, and if watching them play is exciting, seeing them celebrate together is just sensational.
