Original title: shooting boots? Messi 8 shots only 1 penalty kick milestone battle can hardly be said to be perfect
The number one person to blame for Barcelona's stunning draw by Cadiz was of course Longley, who needlessly gave away a penalty before the end. But the attackers should also take the blame for Barcelona's inability to score a second goal after dominating the game so overwhelmingly. Messi scored a penalty this campaign, but he lost his shooting boots for the vast majority of the game. The Argentine, who is the centerpiece of Barcelona, needs to take the blame for Barcelona dropping the win.
The penalty created by Pedri made Messi stand in front of the 12-yard box. In a psychological battle with his hometown boy Ledesma, Messi was overwhelmingly dominant. After tricking Ledesma's center of gravity, Messi flicked the ball into the bottom left corner with his left foot. The ball wasn't fast, but Ledesma was already on his knees on the turf and he was incapable of making a second reaction.
Tonight was Messi's 506th La Liga appearance, and he surpassed Xavi as Barcelona's all-time leader. Messi has faced a total of 40 opponents in his La Liga career, and the Argentine knocked on the door of his 38th club tonight, refreshing his own record in La Liga history. It was Messi's 73rd penalty kick in La Liga, and he surpassed Crowe as the man with the most penalty kicks in La Liga. This is the 60th penalty kick scored by Messi in his La Liga career, and he is only one step away from Crow's record of 61 goals. Messi's sixth consecutive league breakthrough was his first in two years.
But apart from the penalty, Messi's performance on the offensive end of the game has been lackluster. In addition to the penalty kick, Messi this campaign 7 shots on goal 2 times. In the 27th minute, Messi blasted a representative left-footed shot from the top of the penalty area, and Ledesma dove to pounce on the ball. In the 73rd minute, Messi right-footed shot from close range, the ball over the crossbar. 79 minutes, Messi again in the left side of the penalty area arc vigorously bombarded the goal, the ball rubbed the far post flew out of the bottom line......
