Watch Leo Messi and Andres Iniesta embarrass Espanyol's entire defense for Barça's second

Published Dec. 18, 2016 5:07 p.m. ET

Barcelona beat their city rivals Espanyol 4-1 and they treated their neighbors with anything but love and respect on the night. Luis Suarez's name is the one that appears on the scoresheet, but Barcelona's second goal was all Andres Iniesta and Leo Messi. The two legends put Espanyol's entire team in a blender and all Suarez had to do was pour the delightfully mixed remains into a glass and enjoy the product of their hard work.

Messi and Iniesta should really be ashamed of how they dealt with their fellow man.

First, Iniesta lost his footing, fell, and still managed to shrug off his defender, then he added a croqueta in to further embarrass him. He pulled off a second one in quick succession, nutmegging another Espanyol man in the process of getting the ball to Messi, and it somehow got worse from there. Messi's never one to be left out of the fun, and he proceeded to immediately nutmeg his defender, skate past a second man, a third, and then somehow get off a snap shot in the midst of a crowd of confused and terrified opponents.

Roberto made a good initial save, but the always-predatory Suarez pounced on the rebound, and doubled Barcelona's lead. The goal was the punctuation, but the damage had already been done. Souls had been crushed, sons, fathers and brothers were humbled, and family dinner will no longer be the same after this type of treatment.

It's honestly wrong.
