#3 100-goal milestone for MSN
Trending
A couple of quick moves resulted in Gerard Pique missing a gaping goal from five yards out from a Lionel Messi cross. However, Barcelona kept surging forward and Messi finally put his side ahead after some sustained pressure.
The Argentine picked up the ball and ran across the Villarreal back four, evading players with ease. He then took a shot from just outside the box which took a wicked deflection off Villarreal’s Mario to end up in the goal.
That marked a milestone for MSN as Messi’s goal brought the attacking trio’s goal tally for the season to 100. The Argentine maestro has scored 50 of them. It marked a huge achievement for Messi and Barcelona’s attack as a whole in a season where they haven’t had much joy in the Champions League and the La Liga.
