Barcelona returned to add three points that distance five from Madrid who will face Valencia tomorrow. It was a victory as gray as necessary that reaffirms him in the leadership and that was based on a providential goal by Ansu Fati who broke the game when the Blaugrana team had the worst time and was completed by Messi, who is chosen by the Barcelona newspapers to illustrate the triumph.
The Argentine monopolizes the focus on the covers again after scoring for the second consecutive time since the competition resumed. With the goal scored from a penalty to Leganés, Messi shoots himself in search of his seventh Pichichi, which if it were to be the fourth in a row. The Argentine has 21 goals, seven more than Benzemá, his immediate pursuer in the classification of top scorer.
“Leader Messi” is titled Sport, which on its cover highlights that the Argentine reaffirmed the leadership of the team, highlighting the role of the captain as the soul of the team, especially in the hydration breaks. They emphasize that Leo “fought, scored and harangued his teammates at all times”. Mundo Deportivo highlights that “the leader is in charge” praising the Argentine offensive production.
For his part, l’Esportiu dedicated his cover to Ansu Fati and spoke of “useful points”.
