The first goal of FC Barcelona's campaign to cement their status as the best team to ever play the game goes to... 20-year-old Thiago Alcantara, who took advantage of the fact that Villarreal were wetting themselves in fear to wander through the visiting defence and roll a rather languid shot past Diego Lopez and into the bottom corner.

Lionel Messi will have to wait to get his 100th Nou Camp goal (in 133 games there, which is absolutely crazy), but he probably won't have to wait that long. Barcelona are in complete control of the match and you'd have to imagine that they're going to score again here. Sergio Busquets has already hit the crossbar from a corner and the hosts are cutting into Lopez's penalty box at will. That said, their defending is vastly approaching silly territory - that's what you get when your team has nine midfielders and a centre back in it.
