(October 2, 2012)
FC Barcelona was tensed with those two players. They bought Alexis Sánchez from Udinese for €37,000,000. In almost same price they also bought Cesc Fàbregas from Arsenal. Last season the two stars were not brilliant. They played almost 80 matches but only scored 30 goals together.

The start of this season of those two were not good too. But from their goal FC Barcelona beats Benfica in their home venue. In Lisbon’s Estádio da Luz or the Stadium of Light FC Barcelona was amazing. Benfica was also attacking and that’s why FC Barcelona could play by their style of own.
Messi was playing like a midfielder as he did in the last match against Sevilla. He was trying to create chances, not to score. He created the chances of all two goals. In the 6th minute of the match he entered into the left end of the box with his high speedy trademark run and crossed the ball. Sánchez made it 1-0 from very close range with just only a touch of his right foot. In the 55th minute Messi again showed a great play by getting passed four defenders and passed the ball to Fàbregas who made it 2-0 with a clean finish.
In this winning match FC Barcelona was frustrated too. Busquests was shown a straight red card and Puyol was injured. His left arm was broken and he is out of the field for two months.
