Eto'o got the ball and saw Ronaldo making a run, his right foot pushed the ball ahead of Ronaldo with the inside of his boot. Ronaldo cut in quickly from the left side of the penalty area and passed it back to Eto'o, who nudged it forward clumsily to Ronaldo's path.
Ronaldo carried the ball to the left side of the small penalty area and made a driven shot, but Casillas saved it with a dive to the ground, sending the ball flying toward the middle of the penalty area. There, undefended, Messi swung his left foot at it.
Bang—
Neither Casillas, again diving to make a save, nor Ramos and El Guerra, who had rushed to the goal line, could stop the ball from entering the net.
"Leon!"
"Leon!"
"Leon!"
The Barcelona fans cheered ecstatically.
They did not expect that Messi would become today's key figure in El Clásico!
Messi rushed to the corner flag area and once again displayed his "fuerza tio" T-shirt, making the cheers of the Barcelona fans grow louder.
"Hahaha, Messi, oh Messi!"
