Barcelona played their first game in 3 months on June 13, amid
the coronavirus pandemic. Barcelona played a relegation threatened Mallorca
behind closed doors, winning 4-0. It was a brilliant night for Messi and
Barcelona as a whole. Messi scored a goal and provided two assists. He scored
the goal from a Luis Suarez assist with his right foot (not his favorite left),
becoming the first player to score at least 20 goals in 12 straight La Liga
seasons.
Arturo Vidal scored Barcelona’s first for the night in the
second minute as he successfully converted a Jordi Alba cross. Messi set up
Martin Braithwaite’s first goal for Barcelona and second goal in the game in
the 37th minute of the first half. Messi then set up Alba’s goal in
the 79th minute, and had one set for him by Luis Suarez in stoppage
time.
Following Barcelona’s victory, they are now five points clear
of arch-rival Real Madrid atop the La Liga table. They will host second-last
Leganes on Tuesday, and third-placed Sevilla on Friday. Real Madrid is to play
relegation threatened Eibar on Sunday.
