Messis made a rash decision and in my view hes fortunate that hasnt been seen as a red card offence.There were 92,795 fans in the Camp Nou to see Barcelona win, which after El Clasico, is the second biggest crowd of the season.The Argentina international dinked his first goal from the edge of the box, with Espanyol defender Victor Sanchez unable to clear as he ran back towards the goal line.He then finished off a counter-attack late on to take his tally to 31 goals for the season.
