Lionel MESSI scores two goals, two assists in FC Barcelona win against Lyon

Lionel MESSI scored twice and had two assists in FC Barcelona’s 5-1 win against Lyon.

Another match for Lionel MESSI and another great showing from the captain. MESSI copied his good friend Sergio AGUERO for his first goal. A penalty was awarded and MESSI scored a panenka to make it 1-0 and give his team the lead.

COUTINHO would make it 2-0 and Lyon would draw one back and make it 2-1 but not for very long. Lionel MESSI would receive the ball, bamboozle two defenders and score with his right foot.

MESSI would get his first assist of the match. Off a counter attack, he would play the ball across the Lyon back line with his right foot and Gerard PIQUE would score.
