Losing 2 to 0 at home against a team of those characteristics was not very well digested by fans, and some of them didn?t have good sensations for the game against the Greeks. To top it off, the game didn?t begin in the best way possible for the Spanish team, who found themselves down 1 to 0 after 20 minutes of play.

Luckily for Barcelona, that goal served them as an alarm clock that woke them up just almost immediately ?two minutes later- when Messi evened things up Carolina Hurricanes Jersey , and showed the road to follow. From then on, the doubts in the stands where dissipated, and Barcelona began to practice the game that we are so used to watch -a lot of passing and ball possession- and it was just a matter of time for the score to change. And it did thanks to David Villa ?signed from Valencia for 42 million Euros- and his goal on minute 33, which calmed the anxiety of the fans. Then it was Messi again who signed the 3 to 1 just before halftime.

The current Greek champions didn?t put much resistance in the second half, limited by Barcelona?s ball possession Jaromir Jagr Jersey , and in an effort to prevent a more severe defeat, they pushed their lines back, giving all the initiative to the Spanish team, who didn?t reject it. With the wind blowing to their favor, Messi even allowed himself to miss a penalty kick Johnny Gaudreau Jersey , but later on he would make up for that mistake, serving a goal to Dani Alves. It was Pedro who put things 4 to 1, and then Alves? goal to close the score 5 to 1.
