Since Cesc Fabregas scored just before halftime on his debut, Alexis Sanchez couldn't let him have all the fun. Less than two minutes into the second half, the Chilean winger has a goal of his own, pushing the score to a 3-0 Barcelona lead over Villarreal. Then, Lionel Messi netted another less than 10 minutes later, and it's now 4-0. The Yellow Submarine look completely hopeless, and the incredible thing about it is that they're not a bad team. They should be competing for a Champions League place this year. But Barcelona are just too good.
Barcelona Vs. Villarreal: Alexis Sanchez Scores Debut Goal, Lionel Messi Adds Another
The assist came from Thiago Alcantara, who does not look like a 20-year-old playing his 15th game for Barcelona’s first team. He’s been absolutely stunning so far, and he’s living up to Pep Guardiola’s comments that he’s farther along at 20 than Xavi was at the same age.
And just because he was sick of setting up his teammates and not doing any scoring, Lionel Messi added one of his own, assisted by Andres Iniesta. Something tells me the scoring is not done.
