Lionel Messi was the history-making hero, becoming the first player to score five times in one Champions League match.

Barcelona had 3-1 advantage before the game so they were calm and everybody knew it wouldn’t be a tough game for them. Nobody also expected that Barca was going to win with such a humiliation.

In the first half Lionel Messi managed to score twice, both of them excellent goals. One assist from Xavi and another from Fabregas. As the teams went on break, everybody knew that Barcelona was qualified for the next round and nobody expected 5 more goals in the second half.

But Messi wasn’t going to stop. In the second half he scored another goal and when the score was 3-0 Guardiola made substitions – Tello and Keita in, Xavi and Iniesta out. Tellos second touch to the ball ended with another great goal from Barca. Later same Tello managed to score double in his debut match in Champions League but before than Messi scored his poker on 58^th minute. It was his third poker in his career but who could imagine that he wouldn’t stop?

Barcelona Throphies

Barcelona is the champions of the world after winning 4-0 to FC Santos in Yokohama.  The FIFA Club World Cup turned a very easy game for Catalan Club, they netted four times without any problems. Lionel Messi scored double while Cesc Fabregas and Xavi Hernandez scored their goals too.

The Argentine’s performance was brilliant in the final match. Besides those two goals that he scored, he played very well and his help in winning this game was huge. Before he scored, he already had a shot saved by goalkeeper Rafael.

Xavi, who played his 601th official game for Barcelona, brilliantly controlled the ball before he gave a superb pass to Messi, who by himself conjured up a cheeky chip over the goalkeeper and opened the score.

Xavi then scored a goal himself, after controlling a good pass from Daniel Alves on the first touch and shooting with his second touch.

The third goal was scored after a chaos in Santos box caused by Dani Alves’s cross. Fabregas got the rebound near the goal post and it was very easy for him to score, so he did.

Victor Valdes played very well too, he managed to save the team two times in the game, while he blocked two shots of Santos.
And finally Messi completed the rout in the 82nd minute when he was played through by an excellent pass from the Brazilian Alves. Despite the poor first touch he still managed to skip around the goalkeeper and sent the ball into an empty net.
At the end of the match Messi got a special award from Toyota as the man of the match. Also he managed to repeat the record of Pedro(2009) who scored at least one goal in all the competitions that he participated.
As for the team, Guardiola just got his 13th trophy (form 16 possible) in 3 years, while Pele’s Santos and Cruyff’s Ajax got 12 during the same period of time. Here is all 108 big titles for Barca…
