Messi’s second-half special cuts gap to Atletico – The World Game
Barcelona narrowed the gap to La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid to five points as Lionel Messi’s second-half double helped them to a 3-0 win over Elche.
Ronald Koeman’s men had missed a chance to take advantage of Atletico’s slip-up against Levante at the weekend when they were held at home by struggling Cadiz.
They were not at their best on Thursday in a clash with another relegation-threatened side in Elche, but Messi’s delightful double and a stylish Jordi Alba effort secured a crucial win.
Barca remain third in the table having played a game more than Atletico, whose lead over second-placed Real Madrid is just three points.
