FC Barcelona face an intense week with two important games: a Champions League group stage fixture against Man City at 8.45pm CET on Wednesday and a league game against Valéncia at 4.15pm CET on Saturday. Luis Enrique’s men will face Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City side in the third round of the Champions League group stage, having won the first two games against Celtic and Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Real Madrid bounced back from a four-game winless streak in emphatic fashion by hammering Real Betis 6-1 away from home to go second in La Liga on Saturday.

A Goal after 3 minutes injury: Lionel Messi

Lionel Messi scored within three minutes of returning from injury to help fire champions Barcelona to a 4-0 home win over Deportivo La Coruna that kept them fourth, while Atletico Madrid retained top spot by thrashing bottom side Granada 7-1.

Real madrid travelled to Betis without key midfielders LUKA Modric and Casemiro and captain Sergio Ramos through injury and without a win in four games in all competitions.

The Spain international curled in a brilliant strike in the 62nd and talisman  CRISTIANO RONALDO rounded off a statement of intent from the European champions by powering home in the 78th. ALVARO CEJUDO had scored Betis’s goal in the 55th minute.

“I’m very happy, after four draws we needed a performance like this,” said Zidane.

During the second half Luis Suarez combined with Neymar to stretch Barca’s lead two minutes before the break and substitute Messi latched on to a through ball from the Brazilian to stroke the ball  into the net in the 58th minute.

“Messi did not take long time to make his mark on the game,” said Luis Enrique.

“He’s very complete, he has the capacity to unbalance a game, a great shot and he has enormous potential to grow, he can be whatever he wants because he wants to listen and improve.”
