Messi’s 90th goal of 2012, the 6th time the team
have come from behind to win this season, and Adriano’s 6th goal of the
campaign were the highlights of the game
Messi isn’t the only one breaking records in 2012.
FC Barcelona managed to break the 170-goal mark that was set last
season. In fact, Tito Vilanova’s men have netted 172
times this year: 118 were scored in La Liga, 26 in the Champions League,
24 in the Cup and 4 in the Super Cup. Here’s an overview of Barça’s
standout players against Atlético Madrid.
After FC Barcelona victory over Atlético Madrid this Sunday, Gerard Piqué
was interviewed on Barça TV’s El Marcador. He declared that “only we
can lose La Liga,” and “we can allow ourselves the luxury of losing
points, but we cannot allow ourselves to fall into a bad run of form."
Piqué added that the Liga is far from over.
Barça thrashed their immediate pursuer in La Liga, Atlético Madrid,
and are now nine points clear at the top of the table.In addition, Real
Madrid are 13 points adrift of the league leaders. However, Tito Vilanova
made sure to downplay Barça’s advantage in the post-match press
conference: “We’ve won a lot of points, but it hasn’t been easy. We’ve
had to battle back to win games and perhaps we won’t be able to do that
in the future. La Liga is not easy, and it certainly isn’t boring.”
This Sunday’s match against Atlético Madrid was Gerard Piqué’s 200th official match in the Blaugrana strip. Piqué,
who celebrated his first century for FC Barcelona on September 22 of
2010 (Barça-Sporting), played his 200th official match for Barça with a
goal tally of 14 goals for the Blaugrana. His 200 games for Barça are
divvied up in the following competitions: 120 in La Liga, 46 in the
Champions League, 23 in the Cup, 7 in the Spanish Super Cup, 3 in the
Club World Cup, and 1 in the European Super Cup.
