Luis Suarez is a strangest footballer. When one sees him jogging across the field, with his back out and his chest at the chin, it is difficult to reject the first impression. It should be the most awkward guy. This is witnessed by certain controls, some failed passes to a meter, or dribbles that either go long, or stay within a span of your boot. But all of these prejudices, of course, can be used to end up buried every time the Uruguayan seems to show that there is something that not everyone sees. That quality, almost always hidden behind an extremist personality, always comes out. Luis Suarez engineered the heel hammer this time. A completely countercultural action. For the position in which the forward received from De Jong , diagonally to the goal. For the power with which he pulled spur after swinging his leg as if it were a catapult. For the effect that the ball acquired, in an incomprehensible turn for the goalkeeper. One of those goals that are embedded forever in the memory of a Camp Nou that, finally, enjoyed a Barcelona of ten. And not only because who sublimated him was Messi . The six-time Golden Ball honored himself with three other works of art.

A superficial analysis of the meeting completed by Barcelona against Mallorca would speak of the visitor's weakness. A newly promoted team that has lost all home meetings this season. A squad that, however, already won this season at Real Madrid in Son Moix.

However, Valverde's Barcelona had rarely been seen playing as demanded by its constellation of stars. His first time was excellent. And he also remembered the main reason for football: to entertain the fan. The ball stopped being a medicine ball and flew away. Around him, the Barca players practiced an infernal dance to the beat of Frenkie de Jong. The leather was running, the spaces opened in every corner of the rear of Mallorca, the lanes pushed relentlessly - Sergi Roberto achieved excellence - and the three lines executed accordion movements. All this was achieved far from the artfulness of Arturo Vidal , under the supervision of Sergio Busquets and the constant support of Rakitic . Recovering the Croatian for the cause has changed the good luck of Valverde.

Barcelona advanced at dawn and there was no way to stop it. Ter Stegen, to his iron mittens, adds a silk foot that makes him special. He thanked the goal for the speed with which the ball catcher gave him the ball after a corner from Mallorca and launched Griezmann's career. The Frenchman packed himself in solitude and, before reaching the finish line, stung above Reina. All eyes, however, went to Ter Stegen, author of two assists this season.

Messi was also going to demand his moment. So, after receiving Griezmann on the balcony of the area, he curled the ball into that parable so many times seen. And also so many times admired. Subsequently, Suarez shot the stick and Reina took the shot from Rosario without an angle. The Uruguayan would meet the great goal of Mallorca in a duel in the sun poorly resolved by the battering ram, which ended up on the ground without the goalkeeper having anything to do with the fall.

Mallorca, despite being suffocated like that Thom Yorke whose water refused to breathe, never stopped breathing. Kubo , that Japanese boy from La Masia who ended up recruiting Real Madrid, grew up with the whistles of Camp Nou . Although the vermilion scorer of the night was Budimir, who cut distances after a rebound from Lenglet.

But Messi was taken by demons. Vicente Moreno , a coach of Mallorca, had taken him out of his boxes after the Argentine complained about a lack of Tailor. And the Rosario made him pay. A robbery by Rakitic allowed the ten to sharpen their loot in the face of Queen's despair. And the heel of Suárez gave the 4-1 with a whole time ahead.

Even the somewhat milder pace with which Barça took the second act did not prevent Messi from finishing big. Budimir took advantage of an indecision of Ter Stegen to mark the second of Mallorca. But La Pulga, with its third blow, allowed no bittersweet sensation. It was dark and the Camp Nou was convinced that Messi may never end.
