Individual Highlights: Leo Messi (Barcelona) vs Racing Santander & Jose Mourinho (Real Madrid) vs Mallorca

One game down, and one man of the match award for Leo Messi.

The superlatives have run out for the pocket-sized Argentine. After somewhat under-performing at the World Cup this summer, Messi turned on the class in his first outing of the new La Liga season with a superb shift against Santander. The gulf in class between the Catalans and Racing was visible in all departments, and Messi ran riot. On this display, he was untouchable, unplayable, and the best player in the world.

Messi lobbed Racing keeper Tono for the opening goal of the night, which in turn set the tone for an excellent Barcelona performance.

It was a less positive first weekend for Real Madrid. Tipped to win at penny-less Mallorca in round one, Los Blancos came up short in a goalless encouter which leaves Jose Mourinhos men already playing catch-up to their Barca rivals.

For his first league game as the Real boss the cameras were all over the Special One. Up and down like a jack-in-the-box, Mourinho repeatedly courted the attention of the fourth official who was trying to keep the Madrid boss in check on the sidelines. For his part Mourinho refused to be silenced on the touchline by the official as he watched a frustrating contest play out.
