Deportivo Vs Barcelona: Messi Free-Kick Makes It 2-0 To Barca

So we can add the free-kick skills of David Beckham to Lionel Messis ever-expanding repertoire. Messi was fouled fully 30 yards out and the Argentine stepped up to curl a beauty of a free-kick around the Depor wall and past Aranzubia who was rooted to the spot. An absolutely sensational goal from the worlds best player. Is there anything he can’t do?

Now two goals down, Deportivo will be forced to go on the attack, which plays into the hands of Barcelona, who strive on extra space. Miguel Angel Lotina reacted immediately to Barcas second goal, sending on Valeron for the ineffective Saul. As we enter the final half hour, Depor are still struggling to create a chance of note, while Barca have visibly taken their foot off the pedal.

Adrian desparately needs support upfront, as so far Pique and Puyol have had hardly had anything to deal with. Victor Valdes has been a spectator. This match looks over and done with.
