#5 Javier Mascherano finally breaks his duck
Trending
One player who doesn’t score too many goals in that Barcelona side is Javier Mascherano. The Argentine had previously scored for Liverpool in 2010 and took 319 games to get on the scoresheet for Barcelona.
He must have partied hard after the final whistle considering the time he’s taken to find the back of the net. It took years of failed attempts by the centre-back to finally score a goal as despite winning every possible trophy with the Catalans, all he lacked was a goal.
Funnily, this is Mascherano's fourth goal in club colours while he has scored five with Argentina. During the period Mascherano was goalless for Barcelona, Leo Messi scored an astounding 375.
Mascherano's goal also turned out to be a historic strike for his side as it was Barcelona's 100th goal of the season and also the 500th under Luis Enrique. But the decision to let him take the penalty raised one important question - could it be the end of the Argentine's career at Camp Nou?
It might be possible that Mascherano decides to leave in the summer and that’s perhaps why his teammates agreed to present him with the chance.
