Lionel Messi vs Atletico Madrid (Home 2014/15) 1080i HD

doubts about the long-term future of Luis Enrique with rumors abounding so plenty of questions will be asked of this Barca side tonight Leo Messi obviously a vital part forming up in the attacking Trident with Lis sareth and Neymar D Silva this evening Neymar who put in as I say it's going to be a lot harder for Barca tonight against simeon's discipline Atletico side still remember champions of the liue of BBVA well Leo Messi has scored 20 goals against Atletico Madrid surprisingly left out of the starting lineup last weekend as was Neymar that Drew some heavy criticism when Barcelona lost that game Luis henrique deciding to go with by what is probably his first choice starting front three Suarez Neymar and Messi and they need to get goal because Atletico Madrid looking very solid defensively no room for chabby in the starting lineup or on the bench today which means it's a great opportunity for Ivan rakitic who began the season so promisingly for Barca mat who has been P fit but has been left out the Premier League and here Leo Messi receiving yet another honorary plaque it is uh the prize for top goal scorer in the history of the Liga he's being presented by caros maak and of course the C no with the biggest Applause so far tonight every day to have more confidence in this uh Bara lineup Messi at the moment nobody immune to criticism at can Bara Leo Messi back to Danny Alves and that's good work from a combination of inesta and Neymar Leo Messi he's got Alves outside him to his right Messi prefers to put the cross in himself headed clear Bon menth own as far as rakitic Alves again Messi Leo quite happy to sit back three pretty distinct lines there in front of the penalty area Alves goes down wins the throw in for Barcelona Atletico have two ways of Starting Games they can either go all out attack and they' proven to be Adept at that or they can defend but really in an organized Manner and just soak up the pressure gesman lost out to rakitic here's Neymar bit of space for Neymar now it's a brilliant run he finds leam Messi on the edge of the Box Messi went round Gams with with ease couldn't hit the target though but that's uh the first time Atletico have been even slightly caught on the wrong foot and Neymar driving towards the area Messi going outside Gams but with his weaker right foot unable to hit the target well that was Messi coming back into the middle because Suarez was but a mere spectator there ball passed in front of him couldn't make himself available for a cut back from Leo Messi Messi's first shot of this [Applause] game whistles around the camp now for the time it took moah to take the resulting goal kick buset picks out Messi again Messi oh what a superb idea Alves now well gzma may have the player to break because Muki is not going to be sprinting up field Alves Messi helped out by rakitic he was uh tugged back by Godin Messi finds Danny Alves Messi in the Box gets around Godin cuts it back to suades he Mis controls Neymar on the far post it's a dreadful error I think which fair to say by Miguel anel moat the defense in general not looking to uh tights there and Neymar says thank you very much it could go down as an assist from Lis Wan but really it was an error and it's Neymar who gets his 12th League goal of the season and on 11 and a half minutes makes it 1- n to football club Barcelona rakitic there pulling it back for Messi Alves returning the ball to the Argentine he manages to get Beyond godine manages somehow to thread the ball through along the very edge of the 6yd area sware unable to control it I think it's uh actually unfair to put too much blame on moyah there you couldn't have expected sw's assist coming from that era and Neymar all he had to do bundle it over the line one n to football club Barcelona well bobbling off thighs and shins just getting past Juan Fran MOA left a bit stranded time periods up uh Leo Messi cutting over from the right hand side putting that ball across and Neymar scoring and that's going to completely change the Atletico Madrid plan as we near the quarter of an hour there's that uh tremendous work from Messi may even have surprised sareth just wouldn't have expected Messi to be able to put the ball where he did in such Fant fantastic condition certainly surprised jimene as it bobbled off sw's thigh but they all count Neymar deserves plenty of credit for that as well for his reflexes because it wasn't right at his feet he had to fling himself out the ball and got ahead of Moya Co going in firmly to challenge Messi as two does griesman Messi shakes the challenge off but he's brought down from behind by Antoine Gman and wins a free Kick the camp now expecting Lana Yenko to get his hand in his pocket for that but it appears the three kick is punishment [Applause] enough nothing that MOA could have done about that that's the start B [Applause] needed buett Gabby heads it back buset again it falls for Messi well plays himself into a massive Athletico players and wins another free kick and uh completely opposite reactions from the two managers in the technical area simeoni feeling play should have been waved on and Luis Enrique feeling there should be some more severe punishment Meed out both just string just outside their technical areas I would not be surprised if the referee gave him a talking to at some point in this game and G is again late on Messi and this time the hand goes into the pocket it's the first yellow of the evening the camp know not at all happy it's the one criticism that's made of this Atletico side really that they do play very much on the limit of what is permitted in terms of physical contact Real Madrid in particular after losing 2-0 in the cup the other day were very critical of some of their players certainly up on the sidelines just in case we'll see what kind of condition Neymar is in Danny Alves beautiful flick in and uh it appeared on atletic o nil the goal scored by Neymar Jimenez Messi intercepting it the flag stays down for swed oh he gets Beyond Jimenez brilliantly Neymar and he heads It Wide difficult for Jimenez Alves to rakitic his Messi well it's all Bara at the moment Tri get set through Neymar the flag stays down Neymar was unable to control it first time but he's running at the defense now still Neymar Messi's with him Messi gets around Gams it's a great Hand by Mo and in the end it's gin who gets enough of his head on the ball to get away from Neymar and to win the free kick in the end Messi wants more when he gets into the box causing all kinds of trouble for the Atletico defense it was a quick Counterattack Neymar just couldn't quite set it up as rapid rapidly as he would have like that was a really good right hand for moat from Messi's attempted cross stroke shot well the arm across from Neymar onine but produced a free kick I don't think Messi was really expecting that to come back to him but my storming forward now rakitic has got Messi wide here's Leo Messi Messi back to rakitic you'll get the chance and in the end a disappointing cross from the Croatian Barca looking strong on the break unable to make their advantage pay on either of those last two occasions here's GES Thiago good steal from Messi the fans enjoying this gets away from godine Alves back to Messi the ball just behind his feet and not even Leo Messi can control that one Barcelona with the pressure and uh Atletico Madrid being caught napping on a few occasions a good stop from Moya from that messy attempt and it came back over his head foul committed on godine by Neymar but on the break Barcelona looking almost Real Madrid es well once again Miguel Angel Moya has no rush to take the goal kick Danny Alves Messi again back to Alves surprising that's the most we've really seen from man jukic so far in this game he's looked isolated he's looked a bit sluggish when he's had the ball as Messi does brilant there appeals for H ball waved away Messi to swall two to Bara Leia SW swed on the end of it Lou swed and that's another assist for Messi 2-0 to football club Barcelona that's what they needed quite frankly Duncan that's what their dominance has deserved so far for the first 35 minutes sometimes we've seen Barcelona dominate game and not go ahead this season Leo Messi tearing apart the the Atletico Madrid defense on the run and Atletico is so concerned about uh appealing this hand ball they maybe took their eye off Messi we did not pause for a second and he always wanted a pass to sware I think it might have just made contact with Gabby on its way well that's the reason for Muki who's uh screaming at referee unano see it from that angle not quite so clear from uh more behind the player it did appear to come off the top of Messi's arm somewhat fortunate there perhaps the Argentine to get away with that [Music] Atletico ball does take a touch off Gabby and that sets it up wonderfully for Luis Suarez had a bit too much Pace on it for him to deal with it otherwise in he side for home well there's the celebration of Luis Enrique but certainly to have got his number Gams with the long throw headed on by godine out by Jordi Alba helped on its way by leam Messi it's Barcelona soak up Alves and Leo Messi playing absolutely stuck to this right wing tries to get past his man and according to the linesman it's just a throw games I think it is who down he did seem to clash with Messi Messi appeared to have raised a hand G not happy well I think Messi's a bit fortunate though I don't think there's any really bad intention with his action I think he's just trying to avoid The Clash if anything but the arm is raised and the forearm hitting gamis on the side of the head or the neck off Gabby so a little bit of controversy in barca's second I think uh probably fair to say they deserve the two-nil lead on the balance but uh lot on goal so far from C well certainly experience tells Danny Alves here's Messi so dangerous here Messi that was a poor one straight at Thiago earlier on here bisquettes for Barca now Messi perfect ball from Messi to Alba Neymar shrugging away the challenges Alba back to inesta the home fans enjoying this display Danny Alves well getting on the end of it was Leo Messi Neymar was lurking too and in the end failing to hit the target another opportunity for football club Barcelona nobody has provided more assists for Leo Messi than Danny Alves have another look and from that angle it looks if it comes off the bicep of Leo Messi rather than Mela other angles not so conclusive but that slowmo zoomed in appears to suggest that it should have been a free kick to Atletico Madrid yeah it certainly did appear that way to me and I think quite frankly the response of hezus gamees told us that story but Atletico struggling Danny Alves Applause again from the home fans his leer Messi rakitic for first half here in the camp no that passed just before uh the inesta move it was really sloppy again from Atletico Madrid have been caught napping on the ball so often and for a team who Pride themselves on the intensity it seems they just resting when they're getting the ball and Barcelona are able to close him downo Simon Simona would be and seeing Torres frat andiz with the Barcelona Fernando Torres of Midfield or attacking Midfield almost in a sing very early in the second half of the calendar both Real Madrid as soon as possible man jukic to Thiago who misread that and uh that's an important steal or interception rakitic now Alves leaving it for Leo Messi Messi yde 12 is the cross blocked and back to waiting for the referee to get the magic spray out Jordi Alba receiving [Music] instructions rakitic likes the look of this although Messi is hovering to it may be better with Le Messi's left foot it's going to be that headed clear by Godin Messi will have another chance andash sticking with him Messi gets round him and it's a goal kick says the referee Messi still playing on and who was also conferring with Jordi Alba and we'll see if this means L Enriquez up the air it comes to Danny Alves Leo Messi Alves again [Music] alz trying to take it one man too far wins it back Messi on the ball now rakitic out to his right turning almost just playing Danny Alves SK first time leam Messi with a bit of space iner ahead of him Alba offering the option to the left inesta driving forward the Box Gman oh he spotted the AR there of games and games has won a penalty anything too serious games gets the touch Messi clearly Clips him on both feet one after the other referee Indian's got it right he's in the perfect position clear penalty I think oh leam Messi tries to pull out of the challenge GES wasn't really providing much of a threat because he was turning away from goal Messi makes that light contact but it is contact he falls through with the knee and and indana meeno gets it spot on it's relatively soft in terms of the danger that gamas was providing it is a penalty Atletico Madrid have a chance to pull one back well with uh just 11 minutes on the clock in this second half League goal by no means a bad return leer Messi no off to sware is rakitic Messi calling for it not the greatest ball he chips it in towards rakitic gimene in with everything there to get his head to it well Parc toate throw Leo Messi on the ball bu Barcelona to find themselves just one ahead after dominating so clearly here's leam Messi now buets rage ales Leo Messi rantic here's Leo Messi Danny Alves gamees in there firmly it came off Alves to take it he felt it should have been Bar's throw in the first place under pressure there in the first period Alves to buett just managing to find Messi but deep in his own half rakitic keeps it in play wins the throw wants to take it quickly Messi two Messi very nearly got through here he is again now swth inesta Neymar the shot blocked it falls for Messi tries to shot it's blocked again it falls for Gman wide open now this gesman with no support whatsoever does well to win the throw he completely glided past GES there you can see on the replay Diego gin criticized quite heavily uh for that first half challenge on Neymar but there showing just why he's one of the very best center backs in the Spanish league brilliant block on Leo Messi buett having words with gamees and very aware that closeup cameras may be reading his lips so prefers to make his comments toet in secret moyá setting up the ball it's quite a way back and we'll have to see if Messi or rakitic is to take this I think it's slightly suits rage better but Leo Messi on the pitch it's going to be Messi and that one struck Juan Fran on the side just cled into the wall in yet bage meanwhile Danny Alves breaking out here Leo Messi cheeky little ball to Alves who tries to flick it back to Messi but can only find and Dr Alves now Messi rakitic Alves it's certainly one of the most promising performances I think barcel put in with Juan Fran but they just got blocked in there Neymar breaking out Messi Gman he gets away from gasman Over the Top towards Neymar well read by by himim they can't get it away though here's Alves good atmosphere in the camp no not always the most electric of uh atmospheres created in this Stadium but there's the real sense the team need the fan support right now here's Messi getting away from Tores getting away from everyone finds Jordi Alba and Neymar again Leo Messi Messi still goes and in the end it's Juan Fran who plays the ball out setting up to shoot Bravo gets there in the nick of time first time he's really had to make an intervention in this gape that play with such intensity here's buett Leo Messi oh he gets away from aratan Swan sees Alia he tries to chip it over the keeper who had recovered his ground now Messi on the break CIS is with him he's also got Neymar in the middle here's Messi he's also got swad now still Messi well any advantage bar had has lost as toddes goes into press Messi finally lays it off to Alves Messi wants to do it all alone the boot is raised I think Moya is exaggerating kth goes in to have words with Messi and a yellow card for Leo Messi well dunan Bishop a yellow card for Messi for a foul on the keeper he's given a penalty away is Leo Messi the dirtiest player in the league of BBVA Leo Messi has it his foot up there didn't make too much contact with MOA suddenly not with his face because MOA was pushing out both hands to prevent the boot from Messy making contact that was a great setup from AR tan initially R garia took too much time on the shot well with 10 minutes to go in the camp now Barcelona still with uh the slightest of advantages 2-1 B's goals coming in the first half from Neymar on 12 minutes and just after the's first change the product of the Barca Academy the Maria great fan Lu henriquez of uh Rafa the younger brother of Thiago Messi Neymar rather gets Beyond Juan Fran it FS f Messi he chooses to try and place it instead of blasting it past Moya and in the end wasn't too difficult for the Atletico keeper to get his body behind that Suarez couldn't get to it but it worked out perfectly he's obliged to do sweeping up behind the attack good ball from Swan Leo Messi finds racka tips the flag stays down Messi misses it gets another bite to the Cherry thank you very much Leo Messi game set and match to football club Barcelona those three men are Barcelona's attacking tried and they've each scored a goal tonight they each scored a goal on Thursday in the cup or more Barcelona three Atletico one no wonder the camp no is delighted no wonder the troubled president Mr btoo looks tremendously relieved well they soaked up the intensity from Atletico Madrid they were set for a Nery final couple of minutes Leo Messi's just erased any doubts but there were the B to racket it suspicion offside flag stayed down and Leo Messi got a second bite at it he was never going to miss second timeout from just a few yards out good ball originally across the face of the Box by Suarez Messi gifted it I think by Jimenez there nobody perhaps expected me Messi to miss it in fact it's R garia he fails to clear it and ends up with the assist for Leo Messi now's the moment for Lis Enrique to make hising performance from him he's really put in a shift defensively putting in the challenges and has played in LEL goes but Barcelona deserving their lead um although Atletico are much improved in this second half and much better in the second half from Atletico they will wonder what would have happened had they pushed up a bit highes for various incidents in the second half it's got a little bit dirty which has been a shame it's been very fun to watch watch well Pedro comes on to replace swadi a big round of applause for swadi the scorer of barca's second goal there's Messi scoring their third it's been a bit Scrappy at times but to my mind of the two teams out there Duncan the one who's been who have dedicated uh the 90 minutes to playing football has been football club Barcelona news for Barca seeing these three on scoring four big smiles on their faces because uh barca's eventual six points their Rivals now all alone in second place clearly the better side tonight football club Barcelona that will ease things a little bit for mes btoo and Luis Enrique Barcelona going three points clear of Atletico Madrid Diego s only side only really starting to play in the second half and at times it wasn't really play was out and out aggression they've got Real Madrid coming up Atletico Madrid and their winning run has come to an end well good to see after such a hard fought game the players of both that's perhaps the most important message coming from the camno but Leo Messi certainly giving his all [Music] tonight [Applause] w [Applause] [Applause] oh [Applause]
