Barcelona have won their first UEFA Super Cup

It wasnt a easy match for Barcelona, as it took 115 minute to break the deadlock, which was broken by Pedro with a superb clever pass from Messi. Messi was correct about Shaktar, that it wont be easy but at the end, Barcelona made it and Messi have won his first UEFA Super Cup. Thankssssss to Pedro and Messi :)

It couldnt have been so special for Barcelona and Messi fans, Messi winning the best forward and footballer of the year and next day Barcelona grabbing another cup. It has been a great start once again for Barcelona. Grabbing two cup in one week and they will defending their La Liga title from Monday.

Barcelona were on the go from the first minute of the match, Barcelona had almost 60+ possession of the ball. Messi really wanted the cup, and it really showed by the effort he was taking as he always do. It was almost full time and it looked like it would go on to extra time. When Messi rushed towards the penalty area, but wasnt able to capitalize on the ball, which really frustated him. Messi pushed the defender and then Messi was booked for bull fighting with the defender :P

In the extra time, Messi really showed some of his great moves and started heading towards the goal, hit many shots but was unable to put it passed the goalkeeper. Bojan then got the chance to score a goal but was again stopped by the defenders. Pedro who came for Ibrahimovic also started pressuring the defenders, and he also got booked for throwing himself in the penalty area. Thats bad. I am talking about Referee not Pedro, they defender just sandwitch him, what was he suppose to do. Anyways, on the 115th minute, Pedro got the ball and was taking the defenders on, and then he passed it to Messi thinking Messi is god and he will score :P , but Messi was very calm and nice, and said, I got two awards last night, so its better you take this one :D and smartly pass it to Pedro and Pedro didnt missed it. But every thought, Messi scored it, but then they realised, its Pedro :D

It is really great for Messi as its his first UEFA Super Cup and will be looking to add more title to his awards tally :)
