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 
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 , but Messi was very calm and nice, and said, I got two awards last night, so its better you take this one 
and smartly pass it to Pedro and Pedro didnt missed it. But every thought, Messi scored it, but then they realised, its Pedro
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
Check out the goal

Messi scoring twice to secure the title for Barcelona
Barcelona have won their 8th Super Cup title after a two goal from Lionel Messi. Barcelona already won the first leg with having away goal advantage, but still didnt gave Athletic Bilbao chance to get ahead of them. Barcelona playing with their best squad for the first time after the season started. All players did their job very well. I just loved to see Barcelona on the attacking mode, its really superb when you watch that even the defenders are attacking
Barcelona look dangerous from the first minute but couldnt do much in the first half, Athletic goalkeeper saves many goal attack on him. Messi almost scored from an difficult angle but the goalkeeper kept it away at 24th minute, again Messi gave an lob to Ibrahimovic, and he tried his best to put his shot on the target, but again goalkeeper was calm to keep it down.
It just took 10 min in the second half, when Ibrahimovic passed to Messi and Messi trick the defender superbly as he always do and then scored an amazing goal. Later Barcelona got penalty when defender fouled Dani Alves, it was closed but Barcelona was given the penalty and Messi didnt do any mistake and took the chance to increase his goal tally. In 72nd minute, I really dont know what was the defender thinking , they passed to the goalkeeper so softly that Bojan was easily able to reach before the goalkeeper and then fooled the keeper to scored.
Barcelona have won their 8th Spanish Super Cup and its a great start for them for the season and Messi. The tally has begun, I hope there are plenty of goals this season too
