Messi strikes thrice in Barcelona’s 8-0 rout of Osasuna

Madrid: FC Barcelona bounced back to form this Saturday with an 8-0 destruction of Osasuna in the Spanish Premier Football League.

The Catalans controlled the match from start to finish and could have scored more goals had it not been for having seen three shots hit the woodwork and a fine performance from Osasuna goalkeeper Andres Fernandez.

Barcelona went into the match with rumors of a crisis following the recent 2-2 draw against Real Sociedad and AC Milan

However, after 45 minutes it was clear that the rumours of Barcelona’s demise were premature as Pep Guardiola’s side produced an incredible display of football to romp into a 5-0 lead. The Spanish defending champions then put in another 3 goals in the second half to win the game 8-0.
