Barcelona came into the match, against Liga newcomer Leganes, with the MSN all started for the first time in liga this season (Against Alaves Messi and Suarez started on the bench)..

The match started with leganes pressing high in the opening 10-15 minutes but that eventually backfired as Suarez picked the ball in the right flank and ran forward as he saw empty space.. He passed the ball to unmarked messi who gently puts the ball past Jon Ander Serantes..

with 30 minute on the clock Messi returned the favor by assisting Suarez with as a mis-passed ball from Leganes eventually grabbed by Messi who passed it to Suarez and lets him finish the move with no one in sight..

Third goal for Barcelona came just before halftime when neymar scored his first goal of the season..

Leganes never learned from their mistake and came into second half with same tactic to press high and that led Messi and company to counter attack again but Neymar this time got fouled by Leganes defender in the penalty area.. Messi took the penalty and makes it 4-0 for Barcelona...

Before Leganes, Barcelona had threshed celtic 7-0 and in post conference Luis enrique held Argentine talisman Messi as the best player in any position

"It doesn't matter if he plays as number 8, number 6 or number 9.. He is the best.."

"He is the football", added Luis enrique..

Barcelona scored his fifth goal from a sensational shot outside the penalty area and makes it 5-0 for Barcelona.. 

Leganes did hit back in the 80th minute when their only competitive player gabriel Appelt scored a free kick..

Barcelona earned 9 points in 4 matches and looks pretty confident, after their back to back thrashing, for Atletico madrid in la liga round 5

Barcelona records their biggest win in champions league with 7-0 rout over Celtic

What 73,290 people witnessed at Camp nou, during Barcelona - Celtic clash, was a pure confluence of excellency and perfection.. Barcelona literally, thrashed Celtic 7-0 and records their biggest ever win in CL.

Messi nets 3 goals and got ahead in the race for most ever hat-trick in champions league with 6 under his hood.. Neymar scored a brilliant free kick.. Iniesta scored his first goal in 4 seasons of champions league.. Last he scored was also against Celtic.. Suarez scored twice..

Within 3 minutes in the match Neymar assisted Messi, who was in the zone.. Messi ran a few steps and rifled into the net.. In the 22nd minute Celtic got the chance to score the level (and may be prevent the eventual thrashing) when Dembele was awarded a penalty kick because of Ter-Stegen unintentional dive to catch the ball. Ter-stegen was shown yellow card for this but the only saving grace that could've came with this penalty ultimately refused by Ter-stegen.. This was the only moment where Celtic looks competitive.

When the clock reads 27th minute, Messi scored his second goal which was a pure example of coordination. Neymar and Messi makes their way through the defenders and goalkeeper with their one-two passes in penalty area before Messi just slides the ball in...

10 minutes before the hour mark Messi was fouled.. Neymar took the free kick which flies past de vries.. Just a minute before hour mark Iniesta scored his long awaited goal from a wonderful volley. It was Iniest's first goal in for CL seasons. A minute later Messi scored his treble and became the first player to score 6 hat-trick in CL.. 

When it seems all for Celtic, Barcelona had other plan which include Suarez this time... Suarez scored two goals to make the humiliation even worse for Celtic.. It was Celtic's biggest defeat in CL history..

On the other matches Arsenal contained PSG for 1-1 draw, Bayern, as usual, began their campaign with style beating FC Rostov 5-0.. 

Alaves stun Barcelona 2-1

Luis Enrique tactic of resting Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez falls terribly wrong as newly promoted Alaves defeats Messi and company 2-1.

Alaves, who promoted to primera division after 10 years makes the biggest upset of La liga Santander 2016-17 by beating the defending champion 2-1. Messi amd Suarez started on the bench while Neymar was the only one of MSN who played the full length match.

So many clear chances missed by Barca players. Alaves roars ahead in the 39th minute when Deyverson, who was bought from Levante in the summer transfer window, just angles the incoming cross with his left foot into the goal..

But after half time Barcelona was revived again.. Thanks to a great header by Mathieu within a minute in 2nd half. A minute later Mathieu had another chance to score and that was way easier than the first one but he missed from a POINT BLANK..!!!

Alaves again scored in 64th minute and this goal was much like a gift to them as Barca defenders couldn't make a simple clearance and hay-wired among themselves.. In short a blunt mistake.!!

Messi comes on 60th minute but couldn't produce much and he too missed a chance in the last minute of extra time.. Though, He was clinical in making chances but ultimately nothing paid off..

With this lose, Barca moved down to fifth place, while Real Madrid tops the chart.. Ronaldo came on for Real Madrid and scored, merely, in 6th minute. 

Argentina needs Messi: The stats shows it all

When Messi announced his retirement, just hour after Copa America heartbreaking loss back in June, Argentinian came out on the street to show their love towards the best football player and were trying hard to made Messi revert his decision.. Everyone in Argentina including the president himself clamoured hard for his return..

President says," He is a pearl of Argentina, we don't want his talent to get wasted, we love him, we want him back"... 

When you look at the CONMEBOL record with or without Messi, the madness over him won't be surprising..

In the recent qualifying match against Venezuela, Argentina sweats off to pull a 2-2 draw.. Argentina were down two goal before scoring two to manage a draw.. In five matches without Messi, La albiceleste managed to win just one, earning just 6 points out of possible 15. 

On the other hand, Messi played three matches in CONMEBOL and took his side to victory in all three. 

Argentina currently sits third in CONMEBOL point table behind leader Uruguay and Brazil.. Messi was ruled out against Venezuela because of injury. He flew back to Barcelona for his treatment where medical staff confirms his injury but set no time table for his returnment. 

Meanwhile, Messi returns back to training with Barcelona team.. he did first session and some specific exercise.

I hope he gets well to play every match..

The blonde and brilliant Messi revealed the reason for going blonde..

Messi after falling short to live his biggest dream, lifting the copa America for the national team announces his retirement sent shock waves across the world.. Messi along with his family went to Ibiza to help himself forget the copa America debacle. But as they say, when things come, it always comes in abundance. 10 days after copa America final, Spanish court sentenced him and his father 21 months behind bar as they found guilty of tax-evasion. Messi's first public appearance came with an awe.. He dyed his hair platinum blonde..!! 

That Blonde and Brilliant look

Recently, in an interview with Argentine television he revealed the reason why he dyed his hair blonde.

"I made a change to start from zero", Said Messi

"In recent times I was under a lot of controversies which was turmoiling me inside out. So, I said to myself: 'You've got to break this and start afresh.. from zero'".

Messi was under lots of criticism from around the world when he failed to lift a major trophy in three years for Argentina after losing in the finals. The aftermath of the copa America centenario was so heated that it led to Argentine talisman retirement. Aguero, Mascherano and many more were also thinking of retiring.. 

When asked about his retirement, Messi said,"It was an huge disappointment for the team. We thought it's going to be our time because of the way we played in the tournament".

Messi added further,"Everything was falling around me and that is when I thought national team isn't for me".

But we, the football fans, are damn happy for Messi's return. We hope to see Messi play for many more years to come.. 

And yeah..!! I do love your new hairdo.. Do you guys.?? Comment you opinion below.. and thanks for reading..

Messi strike takes Argentina to the top in CONMEBOL

Messi makes his return for Argentina with an amazing goal and even with more amazing skill.. Argentina played their first match after losing copa america final. Messi took back his retirement stating, "After the loss I really considered leaving the national side but I  can't dream of myself without the national team. my love for the country is very great." 

To put words into action makes more sense and he did the same last night. Scoring only goal of the match and constantly building pressure on opposition stands him apart from the rest. 

Just couple of minutes before half time Messi intercepted the Uruguay passes in their own half, rounded off around and shoots into the bottom corner. Although it was deflected off by an Uruguayan player but still the skill and shot was mesmerizing. Riding high, the momentum doesn't last long and two minutes later Dybala was sent off. The second 45 minute Argentina played with a man down. 

Six minute later in the second half Messi shows a great mixture of composure and skill by nutmegging matias corujo while being in the midst of tackling with another player and a successive free kick taken which almost about to go into the net but goalkeeper dives it out. Had it been gone in, it would be one of the best goal.

The match went quite normal for Argentina but Uruguay pressed high many times but couldn't capitalise on it and eventually handed Messi and company a 1-0 win and the top position in World cup qualifying match.

the very first match after coming out of retirement, Messi shows what he is capable of and we want him to stay that way for years to come. Good luck LIONEL MESSI for FIFA Worldcup Russia 2018. We all love you.. Thank you...
