Barca roaring, Messi back with a bang

Barca kicks of 2016-17 season with a blast scoring 6 past real betis who managed to put the ball into the net twice. Barca was always being the favourite. Coming into la liga after winning the super cup 2016.
Messi was as usual at the top form against real betis scoring twice assisting one. Suarez also scored a hattick. But all the superlative goes to Lionel Messi for his playmaking ability. Apart from scoring twice and assisting one he creates multiple chances as well.
The first goal of the tournament for barcelona came when Messi sends a beautiful long ball towards Jordi Alba who picks up Turkish international Arda turan who was just in front of the goal. with a delightful touch from him Barcelona marks its season opening with just 6 minutes on the clock. But much to their delight Ruben Castro who was Real betis top scorer last season scored a wonderful free kick. 

Few minutes later Messi and company played through ball inside the penalty area. Messi was about to finish off a brilliant move but left bereft of his first liga goal as the shot hits the crossbar. But he scored his inevitable goal by collecting the ball from sergio roberto from the right side which he quickly shifted to his left foot.. He drives it a step and shoots from 25 yards just into the corner net past two defenders and goalie. Every time he had the ball, opposition looked threatened. Suarez scored his liga opening just before half time and Barcelona were up 3-1 at half time.

Messi started the second half just exactly the way he left first half. He creates multiple chances till he receives the inevitable price in 56th minute when he supplied the ball to Suarez who looks like standing in front of an empty goal. But that wasn't it. Just a minute later Messi scored again assisted by Arda Turan and this time again he scored from outside the penalty area beating two defenders and goalie into the bottom far corner..  
Messi dominates the field in every aspect except one. Free kick.. But it was Suarez who shows composition and pulls off the free kick in style to make it 6-0. First match of the season and Suarez nets a stunning hat trick. On the opposition side only rubem Castro looks courageous as he scored another goal, mostly consolation, just minutes later to make it 6-2.
Messi and Suarez were both destructive and yeahhh..!! turan was also looks very good but as their can be only one king my vote goes to Messi as the best player of the match.. His vision, his sublime passes, his accuracy, his finishes and all were enough to rate him 10 out of 10.
