Messi’s match against Cádiz: free kick with triple barrier, Olympic goal attempt and assist

Barcelona added another fall in his visit to Cádiz and was deprived of climbing positions in the table to be within shot of leader Atlético Madrid, who on top won in the first turn. Lionel Messi He showed considerable activity throughout the match but his effort to twist the unfavorable story was in vain.

In the first part he had a free kick at his mercy on the edge of the area but failed to beat his compatriot and teammate Jeremiah Ledesma. The Argentine goalkeeper who is one of the figures of his team rejected the auction of the flea, who had to overcome three barriers: the usual one located at 9.15m, an alternative at the height of the penalty spot and that of the goalkeeper’s line with two defenders near the posts.

Still in the early stage, Leo He almost surprised everyone with a corner kick that almost slipped into Ledesma’s goal. Lying on the right wing, his tight left foot came close to hitting the fence as it would have been an olympic goal. The former Rosario Central reacted in time and was able to lift the ball over the crossbar.

In addition, Messi contributed his share of football to put Barça in a game. Among several rivals he maneuvered at the door of the large area and filtered on the left for the free arrival of Jordi Alba, who had the fortune of the diversion in Pedro Alcalá to put the 1-1 on the scoreboard. After a while, a serious lack of intelligence in the background of the Catalans left Negredo with the victory goal. On the end, little did the culé team generate to at least rescue a point. Messi had another free kick near the area that did not pass to greater (rebound in a defender).

In this way, Barcelona was 7th eight points behind the Atlético leader. The poor performance of Ronald Koeman’s team, which also got a ticket to the knockout stages of the Champions League, sows questions about Messi’s future, which could not get close to the record of the Brazilian Pelé (643 goals with the same club, Santos in his case), and continues two behind.
