Lionel Messi scored another two goals on Saturday night to put make him Barcelona’s secnd highest goal scorer ever, with a total of 196 goals. His first came in the 11th minute, with Xavi making it 2-0 after 27 minutes from a header; Messi made it 3-0 in the 68th minute off an Iniesta rebound; this match marked Iniesta’s return to match fitness after a month off throuogh injury.
The result leaves Barça at the top of the table, with Levante second (!) and Real Madrid just one point behind them. It looks like we’re waiting to see who blinks first, but it’s still early days. This week sees both teams play Champions League matches and then next Saturday Barça faces Sevilla, which is sure to be a real test.
1-0, Messi (min 11)
2-0, Xavi (min 27)
