When the Argentine had the ball, he was surrounded by six players to try and retrieve the ball away from him, but he kept the cool head and passed the ball to Jordi Alba who was making the overlapping run through the left wing.

It is one of those moments which you can watch it again and again.

Despite having an off game, he would still be able to score a goal or two in a game. Barcelona had a good year by lifting both La Liga and Copa Del Rey, but they could not surpass the Quarterfinals in the Champions League after bowing down to AS Roma.

 

It has been a tale of two ends for the arch-rivals FC Barcelona and Real Madrid this season. After the loss of Cristiano Ronaldo and the failure to replace him has been coming back to haunt the Los Blancos who are not able to cope up without him.

Twenty games into the season, Lionel Messi has notched up 26 goals in all competitions, whereas, Real Madrid have scored the exact numbers in the La Liga alone.

Barcelona are currently five points ahead of Atletico Madrid and ten ahead of Real Madrid in the La Liga table. Still, only halfway through, they will face a stern test as both Madrid clubs cannot be ruled out of the competition yet.

Ernesto Valverde’s men will take on Levante in the Copa Del Rey on Thursday at Nou Camp.
