Barcelona's 2-0
win at Osasuna on Saturday brought them within two points of first-place
Atletico Madrid. For three games in a row now, Barcelona have conceded zero
goals. Barcelona's opener - scored by Jordi Alba was set by Lionel Messi in the
first half. Brilliant saves by Marc Andre ter Stergen from Kike Barja and Ruben
Garcia saw Barcelona maintain a clean sheet in the first half, and throughout
the game.
Barcelona's
second goal was scored by eighteen-year-old Ilaix Moriba, with another assist
from Messi. He collected Lionel Messi’s pass on
the edge of the area before cutting on his left foot and curling a wonderful
effort into the top corner - a goal he says he will never forget and will take
to his grave.
“Leo gave me a good pass and I don’t know how I cut and
shot with the left, and thank God it went in," he told Barca
TV.
"I
will never forget this and I will take it to my grave. There’s competition for
places but it doesn’t matter if you are young or not. If you play well you’re
in the team.
"The
older players help us, give us advice, Leo tells me to get in the area as often
as I can and get in positions to shoot.
“I
want to dedicate this goal to my father and La Masia, where I have learned a
lot from.”
