Messi and Barca tip the balance

Pepe Mel said hours before the game between his team and Barcelona that the tie was at 50 percent . That his players would not travel to Barcelona as a tourist, but to get the best out of themselves with courage and daring. Well, finished the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey can say that Betis coach he was right: his Betis went to Camp Nou to bite, facing down the best team today and showing that if the best team in Division II is no accident. The fairy tale Seville, however, lasted 62 minutes. Exactly how long it took Messi to score the second of mannitol and after seeing the exhibits in the rear of both goalkeepers: Casto and Pinto.

As I mentioned, the narrator of La Sexta, Antonio Esteva, the end result is just for Barcelona but unfair for Betis. Sounds strange, but Betis, possibly one of the most brazenly sets showed blaugrana territory, played nearly perfect one hour where they could score more than once, with speeches by Barcelona goalkeeper merit of the above, but sank to the second of the night, the work of a stellar Messi signed a hat-trick, was able to score a goal ahead and knew a boat waiting for the moment, the physical state of the rival and his mind to sentence a miracle except tie that will live Benito Villamarín the ninety minutes of proceedings.

The obstacle that the box was found Pepe Mel was time. Withstood a first half in exceptional circumstances, only marred by the first goal of his rival, but in which disposed of very good chances, including an electric or Ruben Castro Jorge Molina header reflections confirmed that Pinto is presuppose. Casto was not short, the goal keeper was fireproof visitor to the serious attacks of Barcelona. He stopped everything that was put forward, and not just in the first issue, but in the second half of the festival in Barça striker, still pulled his courage to stop, among others, a face to face Messi and another Dani Alves.

Ruben Castro took his boots the best chance but his shot from distance was repelled by wood at the end of the first act. At the break was reached with a minimum score and an image from the lower ranked team to be almost as remarkable. And so it remained after the departure of the locker room when Ruben Castro again made to show off to the nth paradón Pinto. When both goalkeepers seemed doomed to be the heroes of their respective teams, appeared Messi, who was honored at the beginning of the impact of the stadium with Xavi and Iniesta and ended after himself. In a blink of an eye silenced are not just your second Golden Ball with two more goals in particular has a commendable job varnishing of the Catalans, who from there, it took the foot off the accelerator.

Betis timer he could, he weighed the legs and a rival in her coach, despite the win, never stopped giving orders. Normal players to become infected, they are to stop and get nervous (as demonstrated by Dani Alves Pique and a small scuffle in the first half) if the occasion requires. So Peter came after the fourth play of Dani Alves and Keita fifth after Iniesta, who had already taken the first, prick the ball to the midfielder, recently entered, nodding in a leap second to none. Barca struggled to the last ball until the last minute, his breath to a rival but punishment over again to make it clear that not only fails Cup (except Pinto, played all the headlines), but its goal is again the triplet.
