FC Barcelona more or less made sure of a Quarter Final Position with a 4-1 demolition of Espanyol at home. In a fiery clash both in terms of football and physical presence, Barcelona stood well and truly above their next door neighbor. Lionel Messi was in sensational form scoring two goals and creating the other two. Enjoy the extended highlight video below.
Highlights from FC Barcelona's 4-0 victory over Real Betis. With this victory, Barca regained Top position and they also have one game in hand.
As I wrote in the preview, this Club World Cup more or less was the emergence of Luis Saurez as one of the leaders of the current Barca side. Till this competition, he was more or less the lesser one of the great attacking trio. But the Uruguayan's performance showed that he still is very much the World's best striker, exactly as he shown earlier with Liverpool and Ajax. If it was not for Lionel Messi and Neymar, his partners in crime; he would definitely would have considered as the "Best Player fo the Game at the Moment". We have seen his Game Winner style earlier, but this tournament showed that he could emerge as a true leader to this outstanding footballing side. With Messi and Neymar around he may not be the No.1 player (that would be always Messi) but he knows that together with them he present something outstanding to the World; Luckily for him both Messi and Neymar also have recognised it.
