Lionel Messi is keen for Barcelona to maintain their strong form

Barcelona ace Lionel Messi is hoping his side can maintain their good form after contributing a brace to their 5-0 demolition of Rayo Vallecano.

Spectacular

Cesc Fabregas got another of the goals and he claimed Barca will be "spectacular" when they get all of their injured players back. "We played our best game of the season," he said. "They went toe-to-toe with us and they made it difficult for us to play out of the back. "Rayo's players went all out in the first half and that favoured us in the second, that's when the spaces started to open up. "We need to be proud of this team. We're going through a complicated moment in terms of injuries, but we have a big enough squad to keep things moving forward. "When we're back to full strength we'll be spectacular."
