Lionel messi was in record breaking mood as he inspired barcelona to a
routine victory over mallorca albeit breaking pele's
record.Predictably,barca dominated proceeding from the start and
should have gone in front after 5 mins only for david villa to shoot
straight at the opposition goal keeper after been released by
fabregas.Barca dominated so much that mallorca were not offered any
sniff of possession and deservedly went in front from a masterclass
freekick from xavi.Messi doubled there lead shortly after the
opposition keeper spilled his straight foreward,the goal was his 76th
this year and therefore surpassed the brazilian legend's record of 75
goals in one ca,ender year.Tello added barca's 3rd of the night with a
curling effort from the edge of the area to further give them
breathing space.The hosts began to threaten after the break and
gladfully pulled 1 back when perreira carefully lifted a shot over
valdes in the 55th minute.The hosts were back with a shout and halved
the deficit when victor slotted home from the penalty spot after
busquet handled the ball with his hand.This gave them extra momentum
but were undone by the inspirational messi as the dimunitive argentine
added his second of the night with an emphatical effort from an
exquisite knock down from sanchez.He however missed a chance for his
hattrick late on but barca were grateful in the end as they opened a
temporary 6point lead over atletico madrid.
