Performance of Champions

Barcelona were simply brilliant against Villarreal on Saturday night, everyone played superbly, even Busquest who use to fall down easily, I actually saw him getting up to recover to ball when he was almost falling down, which was great. A deserving win for the greatest Barcelona team ever, they wanted a win and they got a win, with everyone participating. The most important thing tonight was the starting lineup, which had eight home grown players and all the goals were scored by them.

A match against Villarreal have always been a difficult one for Barcelona for the last two season, but this was the most comfortable win we had from the last 4 matches we have played against Villarreal. Barcelona came on the ground with superb support from their fans, they wanted to win for their fans and they did it for their fans. We are still in the top of the table with Real Madrid still one point behind Barcelona, which is still making me angry because Osasuna could have atleast drawn the match, they were 2-2 on 85th minute but you call it luck or whatever, they are always winning the match at the very last moment, which have always disturbed me. But actually who cares if they are winning matches, we are winning matches a lot more better than them. Their coaches, ex-coaches or whoever are just praying that some other team manage to beat or draw against Barcelona so they can bounce back, they are lot more depended on other team than their team as they have lost both of the match against Barcelona this season and also last season. We deserve to win this title and it will be only ours

Messi atlast manage to get his name on the scoresheet and he did that twice against Villarreal, it was his first goal against Villarreal. Xavi who was excellent against Villarreal, showed his dedication for Barcelona when he was named in the starting lineup against Villarreal. Barcelona needed a Xavi for his midfield battle and we know there is no one like Xavi who can control the midfield as good as he does. He score the second goal of the night with a superb freekick which was too far for the keeper to stop, and he was the main person behind all the goals Barcelona scored against Villarreal. Bojan who was given the chance to play instead of Ibrahimovic, was exceptional from the starting minute, he was the first one to create chance for Barcelona when he gave a superb pass to Xavi but the shot from Xavi was blocked by defender. Bojan goal was simply amazing with the way he took the ball and gave no chance for the defender to get anywhere near him and then a superb low shot in the corner of the net made it third goal of the night. Barcelona manage to finish the first half with 3-0 but it would have been different scoreline if Villarreal would have taken all their chances, it wasnt Valdes days as whenever he came out to kick the ball away from the striker, the ball always landed to Villarreal players who were in good position but he would be happy that none of the chances were taken.

Villarreal did manage to pull one back but soon it was Messi who made his trademark run, taking the ball, moving to left and scoring but this time it went a little wide, and then few minute later a superb move from Xavi to Alves who gave a low cross to Messi, but it looked like Messi first touch was too heavy and would have reached the goalkeeper but he was quick to reach the ball and chip it over the goalkeeper to get his second goal of the night. Messi looked little tired as he have been playing a lot without much rest, so Guardiola decided to replace Messi with Jeffren and let Messi have some rest.

Messi have already scored 42 goals this season, with 29 goals in league, he is the favorite to win the Golden Boot award this season. There are still three match remaining and 9 points to grab. I hope Messi could score in all the remaining matches and manage to beat Ronaldo (Brazil) record who have scored 34 goals in only season with Barcelona so there is still 5 goals to go
