Barcelona's Lionel Messi: Scores twice in win over Valencia

Messi completed eight dribbles and scored twice on eight shot attempts during Sunday's 4-2 victory over Valencia.

Analysis:

Messi peppered the visitors' net throughout the match, getting on the board with a successful penalty just before half time and adding a second with a right-footed blast from close range seven minutes after the break. He failed to score last week, ending a five-match scoring streak, but Messi bounced right back Sunday to up his total to a whopping 41 in all competitions this season. He will look to keep up his prolific pace Apr. 2 against Granada.
