MD 1- Our La Liga Journey Begins

Wow. Just wow. What a performance! I'm lacking words to describe it. 2 goals from the hottest talent prospect a 17 year old kid by the name of Ansu Fati, you people better remember that name cause this boy is breaking records left, right and center, paired up with a penalty and assist from Messi made the most delightful viewing ever. 

Barcelona got of to a quick start with Fati dribbling past 3 defenders taking the shot from outside the box and placing it ever so finely. Just minutes later Fati popped up again! A brilliant cross into the box from Alba and Fati comes out from nowhere to surprise the defense and gives the ball the slightest of touches redirecting in to the goal. Barcelona keep applying he pressure they are hungry for goals and yeah you guessed it right the super kid Fati is on it again! Quick feet in the box takes on a couple of defenders but one of them sticks out a foot and down goes Fati earning a penalty. 

Now Messi hasn't really been involved in anything really up until now which is a bit unusual cause well its Messi, he's the guy usually orchestrating the game but his mind seems somewhere else with the ever growing transfer rumors and his desire to leave. Messi steps up and BAM! Was there ever any doubt he would miss it. Now Messi seems to want to create chances, a lovely cross in the box and a poor touch from one of the Villareal players and its an own goal. 4-0 Barca. Game. Set. Match. 

Overall it was a solid performance at the back too not allowing in any goals and we could have had many more chances if it wasn't for the VIllareal keeper who showed real class making a whopping 8 saves! I couldn'tbe happier with the way we have begun our season.
