Messi scored against Mallorca

Barcelona won against Real Mallorca last night 4-2 with their main star sitting on the bench. It was once again Pedro who have scored for Barcelona, whenever he have been given the opportunity. Henry scored the first goal of the season and Messi penalty increased it goal tally.

Although Messi, Xavi, Iniesta and Alves were on the bench, Barcelona were able to keep the pressure on their opponent having 70% possession in the first half. Although there wasnt that spark that we see but 3-1 in the first half made it sure that Barcelona will collect important three points and also remain top in the table.

Two strike from Pedro didnt decided the game, but another one from Henry just before the first half, made it clear. In the second half after the entrance of Messi and Xavi, Barcelona looked more in control of the game, but both team lower their attacking intension.

Just few minutes left in second half, Barcelona went on counter attack, with Messi on the ball and running his classic style, passed to Ibrahimovic, who was tackled inside the penalty area, which awarded Barcelona a penalty, and Messi took it with ease.

A. Keita was able to get a consolation goal in the injury time. It was a good win for Barcelona, who played almost 70 minutes without their full strength team. But by giving their key player rest would make them ready for the next match against Cultural Leonesa.

Here the superb run and penalty from Messi
