On Tuesday, in the 29th round of matches in the Spanish "La Liga" championship, in a game that turned into a "goal fiesta," the players of "Barcelona" celebrated victory.
Under the watchful eyes of their own fans, the disciples of Joseph Guardiola defeated "Granada" eleven with a score of 5-3, at least temporarily reducing the gap from the leading Madrid "Real" club in the tournament table to five points.
The hosts led 2-0 after the first half, in which Xavi and Lionel Messi stood out, but in the second part of the match they allowed the opponents to equalize the balance of the game.
However, the tied result lasted only a few minutes - Messi, who became the all-time top scorer of Barcelona, scored two more goals, while young striker Cristian Herrera Tello accurately sent the ball into the net once.
The battle between "Osasuna" from Pamplona and "Getafe" from Madrid ended in a goalless draw.
