Barcelona reigned supreme in the Derbi Barceloní as they secured a comfortable 2-0 win over local rivals Espanyol at the Nou Camp.
Despite dominating proceedings the home side lacked a cutting edge in the first half and were held for a full 71 minutes, that was until Lionel Messi stepped in. He chipped his close-range freekick over the wall and the defender on the line couldn't keep it out as Barca took the lead.
He then doubled his and Barca's goal tally for the day in the final moments of the game after a fine flowing move which resulted in a tidy finish from the Argentinian.
