Only FIFA can explain how the Argentine finished fifth in the Balloon d’Or place despite leading the way in terms of goals and assists in the top five European leagues last year. Despite turning 31 last June, he seems to be getting better like wine.

It did not take too long for him to get into the scoresheet this year as he was able to tap the ball in from close range to give Barcelona the lead. Nineteen minutes afterward Luis Suarez’s thumping volley from outside the box did the damage to the hosts.

Despite that exquisite shot from the Uruguayan, it was Messi’s pass that caught the eye of plenty of fans.

Here is how Twitter reacted to it..

It was a game of two halves, but Barcelona had more in their package to come away with all three points on Sunday. Besides, there is icing on the cake for the Catalans as Real Madrid lost yet another game in the La Liga to Real Sociedad.

The compelling gap between the two sides has become ten points, twenty games into the season. They ran over Real Madrid at Nou Camp on October 28 with the scoreline showing 5-1. The reverse fixture will take place on March 3rd at Santiago Bernabeu.

Barcelona will play Levante in the Copa Del Rey Round of 16 on Thursday before taking on Eibar at home on Sunday in the La Liga.
