| Spanish Super Cup 2011 |
Lionel Messi scored 2 goals and 1 assist in a tension match that end up by Barcelona 3-2 Real Madrid. Iniesta opened the scoring after beautofully chip the ball over advancing Iker Casillas. The ball was make by Messi with a classic dribble in midfield area and perfectly pass the ball straight to Iniesta.
Casillas and Valdes are very busy in this match. They make many saves in any occasions to gave both sides a life for a moment.
After Ronaldo scored the equalizer in 30th minutes, Messi prove he is the best player of the year by scored the second goal for Barca. The Argentinian chested the ball to Gerard Pique and Pique make a back-heeled to Messi to finish it.
However this not last long for Barcelona after Karim Banzema scored in the 78th minutes. The corner from Mesut Ozil not really good but defender not properly cleared the ball making messy situation in penalty area. This gave advantage for Benzema to scored and keep the scoreline tied for both side.
Before second half about to end, Messi make a remarkable goal. He make one-two pass with Adriano and end up with a volley that sealed Barcelona wins tonight. The ball just slightly hit Casillas hand but he nowhere near to stop the ball with that speed.
"The players have made a super-human effort because we were missing some and those we had were far from their best form," Barcelona coach Guardiola said.
The result means, Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid sides still not beat Barcelona in 6 occasions. Barcelona also won the Spanish Super Cup for 10 times.
Jose Mourinho speak after the match,
"It's a small title, but we aren't happy we didn't win it. What we are happy with is the evolution of the team. We did very well in both games. We were fantastic."
In the end, just like El Classico match before, one Real Madrid player was sent off. It was Marcelo was sent off because of his harsh tackle to Fabregas. Well.... in the end Barcelona had the last laugh.
