The front formed in the farmhouse has reached the figure of 235 points with a Barca shirt, three more than the legendary Cesar Rodriguez.

Barcelona have paid tribute tonight on the eve of the league match against Athletic, the Argentine Leo Messi for becoming the top scorer in club history to surpass the legendary Cesar Rodriguez.

Messi surpassed Caesar in the match against Granada, and after playing two away games (Mallorca in La Liga and Champions League Milan) today has been able to pay tribute at the Camp Nou before their fans.

A huge banner was displayed on the side of the stadium with the motto "Leo ets Unic!`re Great" (Leo are unique, you are great) just when the players have jumped onto the field.

In addition, previously the scoreboard showed goals from great players in the history of Barca, as Caesar himself, Romario, Ronaldo and Rivaldo, culminating in some of the Argentine star.

The front formed in the farmhouse has reached the figure of 235 points with a Barca shirt, three more than the striker Leon of the age of 40 and 50.

A spectacular numbers for a player only 24 years, and this year is breaking records scorers, maintaining a high-flying duel in the scoring charts in the league next to Real Madrid Cristiano Ronaldo, who began the day tied at 35 points.

Among the feats this season Messi is the becoming the first player in history to score Champions League 5 goals in one game, at the turn of the knockout final against Bayer Leverkusen.

Piatti forward to Valencia and aroused the fury of the Barcelona football, which passed over the Emery with four goals from Leo Messi and Xavi one.

While defoliating Daisy Guardiola, the stands of Camp Nou match to match claims that Guardiola stay. And to continue the hunt. Because in this game, third-placed ante-League, Barcelona redeployed precious football so beloved in Barcelona. It was a show, reflected on the scoreboard and seen on the pitch: a single computer, and many countries, many chances, and many voices chanting: "Messi, Messi ..."

What about Valencia? It started bad, or rather a little warm Barcelona, ​​not so subtle in the pass as usual. As the Catalan club could not his usual virtuosity in the early stages, the Chés felt comfortable at the counter, especially Feghouli and Piatti. After a couple of starts of Messi early and unexpected came the Valencia goal. Feghouli rained Center, overconfidence in the Barca defense and goal Piatti. A cold shower in the making.

It was a turning point, of course. Valencia scored and finished his game. For the remaining 82 minutes were from Barcelona, ​​it seemed as if, aware of the gap to the leader, played only for the enjoyment of your hobby, like going to a museum that no other mind to admire a collection. And in this case, a collection of passes, of moves walls.

Up to 21 minutes of game, Guardiola carrying his football down the left, but with the arrival of the first Catalan side, the flood came everywhere. Messi scored the first, supported by Peter, very lively and incisive as ever from his side. Six minutes later, the Argentine finished again one of those plays that like Guardiola, and we assume positively weighed in deciding their future careers. Iniesta, the best in the first part, signed one of his passes copyright, Abidal arrived unmarked at the far post and focused, where Messi, after the ball slip out of hands to Alves, he turned to the scoreboard.

He was the only fault of Diego Alves, because despite the defeat and error, was undoubtedly the best of Valencia, who did not lasted the ball at his feet more than five seconds. In fact, it could account for up to five chances to score Pep`s pupils, all aborted by Alves. In 28, he won a head to head to Alexis, at 29, Cesc, at 31, after a double wall of Iniesta and Messi, at 40, stick ball to Fabregas, and 43, again another wall, seal the house, which disrupted the che goal.

It was the second half with the usual feelings of Barcelona at the Camp Nou: freehold, many times and good game. But very scarce income with a rival who could not speak, neither good nor evil, because he had done nothing. But Emery, who are unable to take her part to Barcelona, ​​continued to face rival lunges.

Alexis missed his umpteenth hand in hand with Alves at minute 47, and two later Cesc placed well in the long suit but met again with the goal of Valencia. When it seemed that the only one who had faith in his team was the feline Brazilian goalkeeper, an isolated play was about to take to ruin the great match FC Barcelona. It was a poor clearance by Pique and a blow of Feghouli, but Valdes himself was right this time.

In minute 68, Peter Taylor replaced, and the squad also enjoyed at least twice to make its Golito. But the night was, of course, Lionel Messi, who just take advantage of a great move for Taylor to make his hat-trick (minute 76), which would be extended in 85, with a precise shot adrenaline vaseline at Camp Nou. There was the icing. Xavi, who entered with four minutes left, put the 5-1, a fair result and lowered by the reflections of a super-goalkeeper, Diego Alves.

Real Madrid, ten points but Pep Guardiola, perhaps closer to renewal. Do it for Messi, though.
