And already the next one for LIONEL MESSI! Combination between Villa and Adriano and from a short distance Messi gets the ball into the net - strike number 4 for him today!
Through ball by David Villa to LIONEL MESSI and the Argentinian striker went past three defenders and the goalkeeper to get the ball in from a sharp angle! Hat trick!
Long ball by Xavi to Dani Alves and this time it looked like an offside position but there was no call. The Brazilian could have scored himself from a short distance with only the goalkeeper in front of him but he gave the ball to PEDRO who finnished the job!
LIONEL MESSI fired the penalty shot into the left bottom corner. The shot was so hard and so well-placed that Fernández would have had much trouble even if he would have been in the right corner.
Bertrán with a well-placed cross and at the 18-yard box LOE takes the ball directly and fires it into the left bottom corner - seen from the shooter - absolutely no chance for Valdés in this surprising equalizer!
Osasuna goalkeeper Andrés Fernández with a misdirected pass to Xavi when he wanted to clear against a Barca striker. Xavi could have tried it with a lob himself but he played a great through ball to LIONEL MESSI who left the goalkeeper no chance and went past him for the early lead!

In the last league game though FC Barcelona's season performance received a little scratch when they lost away against Real Sociedad (2-3) despite a two-goal advantage. This was their first loss of points in the league after 12 consecutive wins. Osasuna earned a boost in their last two home matches against Real Madrid (0-0) and Deportivo La Coruña (2-1) that brought them much hope back to stay in the league.
Still points for Osasuna would be a miracle this evening as they lost their last three matches on the road against FC Barcelona without scoring a single goal, including a huge package in their last visit to Catalunya in 2011 when they lost 0-8.
Another easy win for FC Barcelona or another slip of the top stars, we'll know it soon.
