Lionel Messi has struck again. This time Getafe were the victims as Messi notched the winner and Barcelona continued their control of La Liga. Lionel Messi scored in the 19th minute and the goal would stand up as Barcelona were rarely troubled in the 1-0 win over Getafe.
The win moved Barcelona 9 points clear of 2nd place Real Madrid in the La Liga standings. The Argentina forward picked up Xavi's pass in the area, skipped around a group of defenders and struck a deflected shot that had enough power to beat goalkeeper Vladimir Stojkovic.
Barcelona and Lionel Messi are gearing up for a mouth-watering Champions League semifinal matchup with Chelsea after they easily took care of Bayern Munich in the quarterfinals.
