1. Mascherano can take a mean penalty
There were smiles all around Camp Nou when Ivan Rakitic handed Javier Mascherano the ball after referee Jose Munuera had pointed to the spot when Fran Merida brought down Denis Suarez.
The Argentine who had never scored in 319 Barcelona appearances showed no signs of nerves as he absolutely hammered the ball past Salvatore Sirigu in the Osasuna goal.
A landmark goal for Mascherano but also for Barcelona: the club’s 100th league goal of the season and their 500th under Luis Enrique.
