FC Barcelona v Club Atletico de Madrid - La Liga

#2 Luis Suarez

Another match, another goal for the veteran Uruguayan; who is making a habit of scoring crucial goals for Barcelona. He scored the equalizer against Villarreal recently and he broke the deadlock against Atletico Madrid. Luiz Suarez was brilliant throughout the match and his link-up play with Messi was a delight to watch.

The goal itself was brilliant as Oblak was looking unbeatable on the day for Atletico. The Uruguayan got the ball at the edge of the box, took a touch and slammed it into the bottom corner to score his 20th league goal this season.

#1 Lionel Messi

Lionel Messi has become the player with the most wins in the history of La Liga beating Iker Casillas's record with 335 wins. Also, his goal against Atletico meant that he has now scored in six consecutive games for the Blaugrana.

The 31-year-old was absolutely brilliant on the day and he was pulling all the strings for Barcelona in attack. His stunning defense-splitting pass to Alba in the opening minutes nearly led to a goal and he was consistently testing Oblak throughout the match .

His goal also was a typical effort from him after he took the ball on the right side in space, surged into the box, beat some defenders and calmly slot it into the bottom corner. The Argentine is in surreal form right now and showcasing why he is the best in the world every week.
