Josep Maria Bartomeu leaves Barcelona after resigning (from Twitter)

After a stormy week in Barcelona, ​​they finally returned last night (Wednesday) to smile with a 0: 2 away win over Juventus - the Catalans' first over the old lady in Turin in 50 years.

The Blaugrana players looked good and remained the only perfect in the 7th house.

Osman Dembele scored first in the 14th minute, with Lionel Messi setting the final score with an accurate penalty in extra time.

On the other hand, Juventus came out of the game very frustrated, especially in light of the fact that no less than three goals from Albero Murata were disqualified during the game due to a difference.



Both Spain and Italy were enthusiastic about the abilities shown by Leo Messi, who starred with goal and cooking.

The flea started the season lazily, but last night it seemed that the departure of President Bartomeu, who over the years had become one of his rivals, gave him renewed strength.

"I haven't seen Messi run like this in a long time," said Fabio Capello, who interpreted the game for Italian television.

Messi did look energetic and sharp: he completed 65 passes on the Juventus pitch, recorded five key passes (the most on the pitch) and his heat map on the pitch showed he was just about everywhere.



Former player Christian Vieri also joined in the compliments, saying: "Messi is a magician, he's Harry Potter of football. The day he retires, I'm going to throw the TV at home to hell. He will retire, there will be no point in watching football anymore. "



Even on Barcelona's official Twitter account, Messi was enthusiastic and wrote at the end: "Juventus, we are happy for you to have the opportunity to see the greatest footballer in history on your pitch."

Juventus responded, by the way, and wrote on its Twitter account: "You probably looked in the wrong dictionary. We will bring you the greatest player in history to the Camp Nou soon."

And while the good old Messi looks like himself again, world football is getting to know Barcelona's new diamond, 17-year-old Pedri.

The young midfielder was named the game's outstanding player by the Catalan media, after in addition to his impressive abilities he also displayed impressive composure for a player his age.

Claudio Marquizio followed the relationship closely and was very enthusiastic: "What a pedophile player. A clean game, not afraid of anything. He deserves compliments," he tweeted.



Marca have already described the deal that brought Pedri to Barcelona for just € 5 million from Las Palmas as the "signing of the decade".



"In ten years, when they talk about Pedry's move to Barcelona, ​​everyone will be in the market when they remember he only cost them 5 million euros. Already at 17 it is clear he will be one of the club's greatest players, and at a young age he is one of the top five players. "And good things happen whenever he has the ball with his feet. He looks against Yuva as if he is already one of the best players in the world."

"Our best game of the season."

The reactions

Barcelona coach

Ronald Koeman

said at the end: "It was our best game this season. It's a big win against a top European rival and we proved tonight that we are definitely capable of playing and forcing our rival to play football. Our lineup today gave us an advantage in midfield, which helped us create a lot. "Opportunities. Honestly, I think we could have even finished the game earlier. I am very pleased with the football we played, and especially with the result and character that my team showed."



Barcelona contact

Sergi Roberto

: "The best response we could give to the storm that has erupted at the club last week, is the show we gave tonight. Everyone has been talking non-stop over the last period, but our team just wants to win games."



Juventus

stopper Leonardo Bonucci

: We knew it would be difficult, even if both teams had deductions.

Still, we made too many mistakes and made life a lot easier for Barcelona.

We know we could have done more tonight.

What gives me hope is the desire to do something with the ball when it is with us.

This means we will have to take more risks, and we need to start over.

We have new players, some of whom lack experience in such classes, so we will have to evolve from game to game.

We need to unite and work hard. "
