  • Messi, Grain De Sable Pour Zidane
    Sport / Sports Real-Barça Messi, grain de sable pour Zidane ©D. R. Il s'était égaré en Ligue des champions mais Lionel Messi a ressurgi dimanche dans le clasico de Liga (3-2) : un doublé, un 500e but avec Barcelone et un sacré grain de sable pour Zinedine Zidane. “ZZ” a, lui, raté ce grand rendez-vous pour la première fois qu'il est entraîneur du Real. Éliminé mercredi de l'épreuve-reine européenne, le Barça aurait pu tout perdre en l'espace d'une semaine, mais c'était compter sans Messi. Le quintuple Ballon d'or, resté stérile en huitièmes de C1 face au PSG (excepté un penalty) puis lors du quart perdu contre la Juve, a achevé sa traversée du désert au meilleur moment : au stade Santiago-Bernabeu, face à l'éternel rival merengue. Son doublé tout en virtuosité (33e, 90e+2) lui a permis de devenir le premier homme à atteindre la barre symbolique des 500 buts sous le maillot blaugrana. Surtout, l'Argentin a relancé un Barça moribond : le club catalan est à nouveau leader (75 pts) à la différence de buts particulière devant le Real (75 pts), avec le rêve d'un nouveau doublé Liga-Coupe du Roi, le troisième d'affilée. “Messi a tranché : la Liga reste en jeu”, a résumé le quotidien sportif Marca, le plus lu d'Espagne. “L'extase”, a titré le journal catalan Mundo Deportivo, “Saint Messi”, a osé son homologue Sport. Et tous ont salué l'immense prestation du petit lutin argentin, qui a répondu du tac au tac à Cristiano Ronaldo, devenu mardi dernier le premier joueur à dépasser les 100 buts en C1.

Folk er godt trent, og vi er på veldig god vei. Vi har et kjempespennende lag, fortalte Cathrine Dekkerhus tidligere i et intervju med Fotballen.no. Troppen landslagssjef Even Pellerud har ut til Algarve Cup inneholder få overraskelser, og inneholder blant annet Ada Hegerberg, Isabell Herlovsen, Solveig Gulbrandsen og Caroline Graham Hansen.
