Adriano, Busquets and a brace from Messi have been around the initial goal Falcao as yet not over the first round and FC Barcelona have nine points ahead of the "mattress" and 13 more than Real Madrid. Before the game, the Nou Camp has dedicated a warm tribute to three former FC Barcelona players beloved by fans as Deco, Sylvinho and Keita. In an atmosphere of euphoria by the unexpected and surprising tie against Real Madrid Espanyol, FC Barcelona has been surprised by the bold beginning of Atlético Madrid.

Willing to clean up the bad image offered at the Bernabeu and prove he can claim the championship, Falcao was made clear in the 8th minute with a header that was not flawless goal because the ball hit the post by Valdes. The Colombian striker has had another good chance in Ecuador the first time, but did not cross the ball accurately to the output of Valdés. In another area, however, no word of a FC Barcelona vague, unknown and suffocated by a rival more intense and with a basic style book: press, steal and fight. Thus it is now 0-1 in the 31st minute.

Piqué and Iniesta have done work Courtois, hitherto practically unknown and after a move jumbled, Sergio Busquets I was able to exit just before the break. A result that did not reflect what was happening on the pitch.

Messi appears for sentencing. After the break, the club has regained his best version to an athlete who has not been anything like it in the first 45 minutes. The Simeone, though stunned by cruel outcome of the first half, have been overtaken by a ruthless leader and decided to make an emphatic statement in the league. The domain has found the prize FC Barcelona's goal in the 52nd minute. Messi, who has not appeared for themselves railroaded by the 3-1 victory with a shot from the edge of the bottom set. The Argentine has made goal number 89 of 2012 and has collapsed Atlético illusions get a positive result.

Although there was still more than half an hour ahead, Atlético has had no resilience and has chosen not to do more damage against a club that has not wanted to do more blood. Playing With the win, the public has enjoyed the Camp Nou a great time and celebrated with shouts ironic "Mourinho, stay" and "Why, why." In collective euphoria, Messi has taken a gift from Godin to round the party making the final 4-1.
