La Liga: Barca set the bar high with a comprehensive win over Betis

Bara start this season just as they had left the last one. The team did a great job demolishing Real Betis 6-2. And that too without Neymar, Iniesta and Macherno, all of them being inetgral figures in the last season's favoured eleven.
The first goal was created by Messi in the 6th minute as he provided Jordi Alba with a beaitiful cross who passed it to Arda in the box and all it took was an easy first touch from the Turk to send the ball in. He almost made it look too easy.
In the 21st minute, Ruben Castro, easily the best Betis player on the pitch, levelled the score with a stunning free kick from the edge of the area.
Messi finally found the net after having a few shots blocked, in magnificient fashion. Roberto provided Messi with the ball and he ran diagonally accross the field before unleashing a typical Messi left footed curling shot from the edge of the area.
Sergi Roberto got his second assist in the 42th minute as he provided Suarez with the ball nd Suarez, with the instinct of a pure striker awesomely tucked it into the lower left corner.
Betis got hit on the counter in the 56th minute. Messi ran accross the field, gave Arda the ball, got it back and provided Suarez with a wonderful diagonal pass who put it over the line.
It was another Magical Messi moment in 57th minute as he collected the ball from the Turk captain, danced past the Betis defense before shooting it into the lower right corner. Magnificient!
After shooting a freekick into the wall and another one over the wall, Messi let Surez take one in the 82nd and the man produced a beautiful shot right into the top corner. A hat trick on the first day! Can it get any better?
Betis got a consolation in 84th minute but it did not matter much as the Blaugrana snatched three points.
