Player Ratings: Espanyol 1-2 Barcelona
EspanyolKameni 6.5 - In fairness did not have many outstanding saves to make, but the ones he did he made well. Should have cleared the ball for Henry's goal.
Chica 7 - Did well down the flanks to contain Messi and make him have to continue search for openings inside rather than round the back.
Pareja 7.5 - Very unfortunate to be the one to have to stop Eto'o at the very end the debate will go on, but he had a very good game apart from that.
Jarque 7 - Also was very strong in keeping out the Barça forwards that have taken apart so many other teams with their constant attacking.
Sergio Sánchez 6.5 - Was sometimes caught out of position when trying to contain Iniesta, but was part of a strong overall display at the back for Barça.
Moisés 7 - Sat in front of the back four and was very strong in keeping the second wave of Barça players out and winnning the second ball.
Román 6.5 - A strong presence in the midfield who was able to mix the physical side with the creative side as he helped his break away.
Nené 4 - In a game of so few bookings, the former Celta wideman was slightly unfortunate to see two of them before the break.
Coro 8 - Never stopped working throughout and was the first to run the ball out of his own half once Espanyol were down to ten men.
Luis García 7.5 - Also ran tirelessly and will have felt aggrieved that all his work was not even rewarded with a share of the spoils.
Tamudo 6.5 - Did very well to put the ball back across the area with a pass that led to the first goal and will be frustrated to have been taken off.
Subs
Ángel 6.5 - Another player brought on to try and help break things up and take the ball away from the Espanyol area.
Sielva 7 - Really did try his best to run at Barça and relieve the pressure from his defence and did that job very well when he had the chance.
Callejón 6 - Replaced Tamudo as the lone striker and did well enough, but was never going to have much supply.
Barcelona
Valdés 7 - Not much he could have done about the goal given that Luis García gave him a nudge and he had a quiet evening on the whole.
Alves 7.5 - Was able to push forward a lot given Espanyol's defensive stance and provide crosses and passes for the forwards to go for.
Puyol 7 - Constantly led the team on and gave a captain's performance simply for his constant cajoling of his team-mates.
Piqué 6.5 - Solid at the back and was able to stop the majority of Espanyol's breakaways as well as providing a creative side from the back
Abidal 6 - Helped out going forward and could not do anything to prevent the goal, but did not really make an impression at either end.
Busquets 6 - Was involved in a number of things, but most noticably in the moajority of moments that stirred up Espanyol in midfield.
Xavi 7.5 - Tried to create what he could in the limited space available and found it difficult to find his team-mates. Hit the bar with a sizzler.
Gudjohnsen 5.5 - Was given a chance in midfield, but was thwarted by the clear lack of space and was unable to open up Espanyol.
Iniesta 8.5 - Barça's best player yet again with his movement and creativity, even though he may not have been as outstanding in recent weeks.
Messi 8 - Creative and tricky, but still needs to hone his incredible talent to truly unlock locked defences such as this and he only did that once or twice.
Henry 8 - Constantly looked to make a breakthrough and had a number of good chances only to be denied by inspired defending and the woodwork.
Subs
Eto'o 7.5 - His movement and strength did cause Espanyol problems and his run for the penalty was decisive and won the game.
Bojan 6 - Had a couple of shots that did not trouble Kameni and has yet to show this season why he deserves more minutes.
Keita 6 - Did not make a huge impression when coming on but was able to sit back and help the defence when building.
Gol Injury Time Messi Menangkan El Barca
Diwarnai bentrokan antar fans, laga derby antara Barcelona melawan Espanyol akhirnya berakhir untuk kemenangan El Barca dengan skor 2-1. Lionel Messi muncul sebagai penentu kemenangan Barca lewat golnya di injury time.
Laga yang digelar di Stadion Olimpico Montjuic, kandang Espanyol, Minggu (28/9/2008) dinihari WIB, ini sempat dihentikan pada menit 70 ketika suporter kedua kesebelasan berbentrokan. Suporter Barcelona sempat terlihat melempar bom asap ke arah tribun pendukung Espanyol.
Melihat keadaan tersebut wasit Luis Medina Cantalejo memutuskan untuk mengeluarkan seluruh pemain dari lapangan dan menunda laga sampai keadaan reda.
Ketika itu Espanyol tengah memimpin 1-0 lewat gol Coro di menit 19 pada babak pertama. Gol tersebut tercipta setelah sang penyerang sukses memanfaatkan bola liar hasil sapuan Gerard Pique yang gagal diamankan oleh Victor Valdes. Namun, pada menit 45 tuan rumah harus bermain dengan 10 orang setelah Nene dikeluarkan wasit akibat menerima kartu merah.
Saat pertandingan di lanjutkan kembali pada menit 77, Barca langsung mengambil momentum untuk menyamakan kedudukan. Gol yang ditunggu-tunggu itu akhirnya baru lahir pada menit 84 melalui kaki Henry.
Gol tersebut tercipta dengan diawali oleh umpan panjang Xavi Hernandez ke arah mantan striker Arsenal itu. Bola tersebut sebenarnya sukses disapu kiper Carlos Kameni, namun bola justru membentur kaki bek Espanyol dan kembali ke kaki Henry. Dengan tenang, penyerang asal Prancis itu pun menceploskan bola ke gawang yang terbuka lebar.
Akibat dari insiden di babak kedua itu, waktu injury time pun menjadi lebih panjang. Barca pun memanfaatkan kesempatan ini untuk terus menekan pertahanan Espanyol. Pada akhirnya, Los Blaugranas pun mendapatkan hadiah penalti setelah Samuel Eto'o dijatuhkan di kotak terlarang oleh Nicolas Pereja.
Messi yang menjadi eksekutornya tak menyia-nyiakan kesempatan ini dan langsung memberikan keunggulan 2-1 untuk timnya. Tak lama setelah gol tersebut wasit pun meniupkan peluit panjang yang artinya Barca berhasil membukukan tiga kemenangan beruntun di La Liga.
Hasil ini membawa Barcelona naik ke peringkat tiga klasemen sementara dengan raihan nilai 10 dari lima kali bertanding. Sementara Espanyol tak beranjak dari peringkat delapan dengan raihan poin tujuh.
