Having lost 1-8 to Barca in the 2014 King's Cup, Huesca started with the determination to find a more positive result in the reunion. Along with the good form they had after the first two matches (one win and one draw), the rookie team quickly surprised the defending champions. When the match had just entered the 3rd minute, after a close-range header from his teammate, Camilo Hernandez touched the ball and changed direction into the goal to open the score for Huesca.

Despite conceding an early goal, Barca are not a team that is easily shaken. On the contrary, coach Ernesto Valverde and his team quickly found a way to respond in the first half with three consecutive goals.

Messi continued to play the leading role for Barca with a beautiful finish. When facing a siege of four defenders in the 16th minute, M10 skillfully turned the ball and then fired a decisive right-footed shot to score.

With a quick equalizer, Barca played more effectively. Full-back Jordi Alba was the next to shine, contributing effectively to the next two goals: a cross that caused Jorge Pulido to score an own goal in the 24th minute and a pass that Luis Suarez tapped in at the 39th minute.

Faced with a game that changed so quickly, Huesca did not have time to reorganize their defense to reduce the number of goals conceded. The La Liga rookie team only left a small impression with Alex Gallar's close-range shot to reduce the score to 2-3.

After the break, the match had five more goals but the big difference was that they all belonged to the home team. With a well-prepared defense,tightened, Barca's goal no longer had to endure potential threats.While the attacking line played differently, Huesca suffered their first defeat of the season.

Young striker Ousmane Dembele was the one who started the second half with a brilliant cross-angle shot in the 48th minute. Not long after, from Messi's high pass, Ivan Rakitic volleyed beautifully to increase the score to 5-1.

Playing simply but effectively, Messi left another mark with a diagonal shot to score in the 61st minute and a passfor Alba to break the offside trap to make it 7-1 in the 81st minute. As the second half entered the third minute of added time, M10 denied the chance to score a hat-trick by giving the opportunity to shoot 11m to Suarez, the striker completed the task to seal the 8-2 victory.

Having won all three of their opening games, Barca continue to lead La Liga with nine points, along with Real. The defending champions are now ahead thanks to a superior goal difference (12-2 to 10-2).
