"Barcelona" club star Lionel Messi put on another impressive performance in the Spanish league.
Led by L. Messi, "Barcelona" triumphed in the derby of the Catalan capital on Saturday. The Argentine stood out by scoring two goals, both of which were impressive penalty shots.
Speaking to journalists after the match, L. Messi stated that he has a certain technique, but ultimately penalty shots are a matter of luck.
"I try to stick to my technique, and that determines my successful series of penalty shots," Messi said. "You know, sometimes I take so many penalty shots, but none of them are accurate. I was really lucky to score two in a row."
"It's not easy to win against 'Espanyol' this season playing away. However, we scored an early goal, relaxed a bit, and later were excellent in all aspects of the game," added the Argentine.
L. Messi rose to the top of the most scoring players in "La Liga" after his two goals.
