#5 Messi and Iniesta are a privilege to watch
Barcelona looked lost at times when Iniesta was out injured, but since his return, he has taken up the burden of revitalising the team once again. His silky smooth touch, his feints and his ability to not only dance past defenders but also pick the correct pass no matter how tight the space is, or how many players are surrounding him, is simply spell binding at times.
He and Messi were involved in all the Barca goals yesterday, and it is simply a privilege to watch them play.
The diminutive Argentinian came into the match knowing that his eternal rival Ronaldo had just won the Club World Cup for Madrid, so he decided to turn up the stakes in style by ghosting past Espanyol players repeatedly, and setting up 2 goals and scoring one more.
The Camp Nou chanted his name in unison after the match, and it simply seems that there is no stopping this man when he is on song. Take a bow, Messi!
