Match Report: Barcelona 3-2 Osasuna

After seeing last night's match, we can't get past Messi, Messi, Messi! He was Barca's hero yet again, scoring the winning goal in the final minutes of the match, also setting up Eto'o beautifully for the first one...

Samu's goal gave Barca the lead at the very end of the first half, but Osasuna soon caught up, and then, horrifyingly enough, they were in the lead with less than fifteen minutes to go. It was a very distressing score, but Dani soon set Xavi up for a rocket of a goal.


We were still basking in the loveliness of Xavi's having been able to score in his 300th as well as the relief at having snatched back a point, when Dani came back and expertly stole the ball and rolled it along to Messi, who literally tore through the defense before blasting the ball into the net, scoring an absolutely brilliant goal and securing victory for Barca yet again.

This is really turning out to be Messi's season. His game is incredible, his look is way hotter, and he's avoided injury so far; the time has come for the world to acknowledge him as the true King of Football.
