Welcome to hell (5-0)

Welcome to HELL. That's how the Camp Nou greets it's visitors. And today it seemed to work.
We could ultimately say it was a "typical from home" match.
Although the first bite was from the colchoneros, with a quite lucky long shot from Tiago Mendes that slammed against the crossbar and went out, Barça went progressively up, and Atlético progressively down.
In minute 9 came the can opener: a greatest pass by Xavi, Villa chests it down, ingeniously feints up Antonio López and ends up beating Thibaut Courtois with a typical "ground power shot".
While trying to recover from the 1-0, the colchoneros suffered the worst disgrace a team can always find: an own goal, in minute 15, after a sensational pass by Xavi (man of the match for sure) Messi slams the ball against Courtois, and the rebound hits Miranda's legs, and despite the brazilian's best efforts, the ball ends up in the net, much to Courtois's dismay.
Messi (omnipotence personified) was the scorer of the three following goals (yes, it's a hat-trick, and again, against the colchoneros... they seem to be Messi's speciality), the first one is an amazing, rogue-styled move, coming from a throw-in, advancing forwards and suddenly feinting ino the area, at the same time leaving both Filipe Luis and Mario Suárez stuck, and then beating Courtois for the third time with a ball-breaking shot. So typical, yet still so amazing...
Let's get into the second one, another masterpiece (I highlight that between the third and this fourth goal Messi could have made a truly historical goal, if it wasn't for Perea, who was looking to kill Messi around this time, as Messi got the ball in the front of Barça's area, and I would not exaggerate if I say that he dribbled almost all of the opposing team and he ended in front of the colchonero area just before Perea tried to kill him.) Eeeeem as I was saying, the second goal from Messi is such another masterpiece: after an all-star pass by Xavi (omnipresent today), Messi makes his classical "all-people dribble-around" to end it with a "ground power shot", leaving Courtois beaten again and begging for the match's ending.
The fifth and last is another "typical from home" made goal: after dizzing and dizzing around the colchoneros (who had some chances near the end of the second half) Cesc gives the ball to Messi, who then makes a wall pass with Villa, to end up beating Courtois again with an impressive, almost spaceless "ground power shot" (Yes, Messi's preferred shots).
Falcao?? Has this guy existed today?? I'd say no, almost like the rest of the the colchonero team.
Well, take a deep breath, beacuse a looooong, very long travel to Minsk awaits us to play next Wednesday against BATE Borisov in the UEFA C.L. group stage (should not be too difficult, but lets not get off guard, beacuse another draw could really begin to complicate things in the C.L.).
If I remark something of the belarusians? Only their new star striker: a former colchonero, the serbian Mateja Kezman.
Well, that's all for now, folks, see ya after the BATE-Barça!!
