Lionel MESSI continues to add to his scoring tally, this time scoring in FC Barcelona’s 3-1 win against Leganes.

The little magician started the match on the bench for the Catalan club. With the score at 1-1, coach VALVERDE brought on the Barcelona captain and MESSI did what MESSI does. A lovely dribble around a defender was followed by a shot which was saved by the goalkeeper. Luis SUAREZ pounced on it and gave Barcelona the 2-1 lead.

What soon followed was a thing of poetry. MESSI played a ball to Jordi ALBA, the left back played it to MESSI and Lionel fired it home with his right foot.

The Argentina coach and two players spoke about the 1-1 draw after the match.

Fernando BATISTA, the coach of the Argentina U20 team, spoke following his team’s 1-1 draw against Paraguay. Here’s what he had to say:

“I believe in the last 20 minutes, we had very clear chances and Paraguay’s goalkeeper did well. In general, I think the kids had a very good match.

“I always wish that things get better. This was the first official match for the team. The anxiousness and nervousness is normal. I leave calm because I have good players.”

Goal scorer Maxi ROMERO also had his say on the match:

“We are happy with what we did. A lot of the things from training came out. There’s a lot of camaraderie within the group. We are happy with the performance. We have to get a good result against Ecuador.”

Manuel INSAURRALDE had this to say:

“It’s the first match and at times, the anxiety gets the better of you. We were superior but we didn’t get the result we were looking for.”
