Lionel MESSI nets four in FC Barcelona win

Lionel MESSI nets four goals for FC Barcelona in their 6-1 win against Eibar.

If it was Pablo PIATTI and Sebastian DRIUSSI on Monday, then it’s Lionel MESSI on Tuesday. Not for the first time in his career Lionel MESSI has scored four times in a single mnatch. After all, the first time he did it was in a Champions League knock out stage match in 2010 against English club Arsenal. This time though, it was against Spanish opposition, Eibar. The first was off a penalty kick with the other two coming from open play.

MESSI has now scored 11 goals in the season in only five La Liga matches, his best ever start in his La Liga career.

Argentina National Team coach Jorge SAMPAOLI was in attendance to watch both Lionel MESSI and Javier MASCHERANO (who started the match for the Catalan club). SAMPAOLI met with the two Argentina captain’s on Monday to discuss the upcoming World Cup Qualifying matches.

Pablo PIATTI and Sebastian DRIUSSI both scored for their clubs on Monday.

To add to the goals scored by Argentinians over the weekend, it was Espanyol’s energizer bunny PIATTI wracked up his first goal of the season in Espanyol’s 2-1 win to Celta Vigo. The U20 World Cup winner with Argentina scored the second goal for his club, a cool left footed shot passed the goalkeeper.

PIATTI wasn’t the only Argentinian to score on Monday as Sebastian DRIUSSI of Zenit Saint Petersburg scored for his club in their 3-0 win against FC Ufa. It was a goal made in Argentina with former Atletico Madrid and Sevilla midfielder Matias KRANEVITTER providing the assist on the goal.

La Liga club Deportivo Alavés fire Luis ZUBELDIA

Deportivo Alaves have fired their manager, Luis ZUBELDIA following their 0-3 loss to Villarreal earlier.

The result left the Spanish club with no wins and no goals after four matches to start the season and they are currently now at the bottom of La Liga standings. ZUBELDIA arrived in the summer replacing fellow Argentine Mauricio PELLEGRINO who departed to Premier League side Southampton after guiding Alaves to a 9th place finish last season as well as a Copa Del Rey final.

Alaves was ZUBELDIA’s seventh stint as coach. He had previously managed Lanus, Barcelona SC, Racing Club, LDU Quito, Santos Laguna and Indepentiente Medellin.

Not a bad way to start off your 100th appearance for your club as DYBALA put on a five star performance!

Not to be outdone by his Argentina National Team mate Sergio AGUERO, Paulo DYBALA powered Juventus passed Sassuola with a hat trick, scoring a sensational goal in the process.

He opened the scoring in the 16th minute with a brilliant long-range effort with his ferocious left foot which also turned out to be his 50th goal for the club. The scoreline was 1-0 at halftime in favor of Juventus.

It didn’t take long for them to double their lead in the second half. DYBALA slotted the ball into the bottom corner from inside the penalty area in the 49th minute. The home side immediately hit back after a mistake from Gianlugi BUFFON which allowed Matteo POLITANO to pull one back for Sassuolo.

Then in the 63rd minute, DYBALA was brought down about 22 yards away from goal. He took the resulting free kick in which he curled the ball past Andrea CONSIGLI to complete his hat-trick.

After the match, Paulo spoke to Sky Sport and he was asked about being compared to MESSI. Here’s what he had to say:
“Every footballer has his own style. I am DYBALA and he’s MESSI. He has won five Ballon d’Or and nobody has ever done what he’s done so far.”
