The Dhaka Times Desk Messi has made regular hat-tricks for Barca a given. However, Messi did not score a hat trick in yesterday's match, not even a single goal came from his feet. However, the lack of Messi has been fulfilled by Pedro. Three goals by Pedro in the 33rd, 47th and 72nd minutes and Ces Fabregas' goal in the 80th minute gave Barca a 4-0 victory at the Viocano field.
26-year-old Barca striker Pedro started the goal mission in the 33rd minute of the match. At that time, Pedro got the first goal after receiving a low ball from Messi as a pass and shot along the corner of the goal post.
Barcelona failed to score despite several attacks in the first half. Especially Messi's several goal misses suggest that maybe the football goddess was not happy with him yesterday. However, Victor Valdez once again proved his ability by blocking a great penalty in the 36th minute.
In the second half, Pedro scored the second goal of the match in the 47th minute with the help of Cess Fabregas. Barca lead 2-0. In the 72nd minute, Neymar came up from the left side and forwarded the ball to Pedro in a one-two pass. Pedro found the goalkeeper alone in front of the goal post, and he did not waste the opportunity to complete the hat-trick by hooking the ball into the net. 3-0 lead to win the victory is guaranteed by Barcelona.
However, Messi, desperate for a goal, failed to hit the goal post after a desperate effort by Neymar. Even before this, Lionel Messi in the fifth minute and Neymar in the ninth minute shook the defense of Viocano but did not see a goal.
In the 80th minute, the fourth goal for the team was scored by the midfielder Fabregas, who was in great rhythm throughout the match. Xavi's pass eluded two defenders and his ball found the back of the net as he ran into a shot at speed.
In the post-match press conference, Gerard Martino described the victory as enjoyable. He said, “We haven't had much resistance from Viocano, having lost 5-0 to Atletico Madrid and Malaga so far in the league. So Dani Alves, Andres Iniesta, Sanchez were rested in this match. The boys played brilliantly."
