While Real Madrid toiled and toiled against Almeria, it has taken Barcelona no time at all to put themselves infront against Malaga, with Andres Iniesta stroking home a beautiful goal on four minutes. Dani Alves rolled the ball across the front of the area, with Iniesta striking the ball in first time off the post, giving Sergio Asenjo no chance.
Barcelona Vs Malaga: Iniesta and Villa Score Early Goals To Put Barca 2-0 Up
With Barcelona camped in the Malaga half, David Villa then added the second on 17 minutes, with Busquets, Xavi and Messi combining to slip in Villa, who rolled the ball through Asenjos legs. It has been a torrid first 20 minutes for Malaga, who look absolutely shell-shocked. Just before the second goal, Xavi had curled a stunning shot off the crossbar and you have to say as things stand Malaga could be on the end of a thrashing tonight.
If Malaga are going to have any chance in this match, and the reality is that they don’t, Duda, Quincy and Baptista need to find a way of pushing Barcelona back into their own half with their mixture of strength and speed, but even a manager of Manuel Pellegrinis experience will struggle to find a way of troubling Barcelona tonight.
