(December 12, 2012)

That is Leo Messi once again. The Argentine has shown scoring both goals in the victory of FC Barcelona in Córdoba, in the first knockout round of the Copa del Rey. Although the locals have enjoyed a good start pushing hard to Barca, Messi has put order with the 0-1 in the 11th minute and the 0-2 in 73rd minute.

Messi is cooler than anyone. The Argentinian star, on his debut in the competition, has scored both goals in the victory of FC Barcelona in Córdoba, in the game in the first leg of the knockout stages of the Copa del Rey. Thus, the FC Barcelona team, which has exhibited a high level group in the New Archangel, is very close to the quarterfinals, but before the tie should be secured at the Camp Nou on January 10.

The Cordoba has come to stop. In the first five minutes of the game has enjoyed two good chances to advance in the marker. It has taken and the response has been withering FC Barcelona, Thiago whip crashed to the wood and in the same play, Pedro, Villa and Messi have teamed brilliantly to sign the first goal in the New Archangel. The 0-1, but a fright as the local goal disallowed quarter hour, have served to provide much more comfort to the Catalans, who have come to rest by controlling the possession and the goal of ensuring Pinto.

The second half started much more relaxed than the first. FC Barcelona has never struggled and been able to resolve the conflict with various shots of Peter, denied in front of goal. Unlike Messi, who has forgiven one but not two lethal after Alexis assistance from the right. It was 0-2 and the 88th goal of Leo in 2012.

FC Barcelona, of note in the second half, has been dedicated to playing and triangular in midfield, wearing a lot less fresh Cordoba at the start and has left a very good image despite the 0-2 conceded, that lets the uphill eliminator. 

The Camp Nou will pronounce sentence.
