Lionel Messi is the best player I have ever seen play football and he is the single most dominant player in any sport right now.

In the biggest game of the year for Barca he scored 3 goals had an assist and the pass for Neymar's penalty which was out of this world and just insane.

And he is supposed to be in a down spell. LOL, it's also obvious he's still not 100% but close to it so he did this not being 100% fit.

Wow just wow.

2 of them were penalties man

He set up the first penalty with the most beautiful pass of the game and assisted Iniesta's goal as well as scoring.

Don't really know what your point is. Bitter I guess.

Continues to amaze me just how good he is. Clearly the best player ever and hopefully a WC this summer cements his place in history. The only player I've seen that comes close to the talent Messi possesses is Ronaldo Lima.

Not sure which was better the entire sequence for the 1st goal or the pass to pick out Neymar which eventually led to his sending off. The best players in the World (excluding Ronaldo) could probably see the runner but the precise weight on the pass is what was amazing about it.

Messi has been involved in 475 goals during his 413 competitive games for Barca: 347 goals & 128 assists

Why not? Same as i like Iniesta as a player. They're great to watch while at the same time not as mouthy like Xavitch. You can't hate them all man it's not healthy.

I know man. You always liked Messi Thumbs up

even over Ronaldo if i remember correctly. Same as iniesta. It's good to see. Regardless of rivalry we should always praise Player for their individual quality. Same in old day i used to like Zidane and Raul even though they were Real Madrid Player. Current Madrid Side i like Varane and Iker.

best player in the world

15 goals away from being La Liga's all time top scorer. 9 matches to go. Can he do it?

by huntsman Mon Mar 24, 2014 12:12 am

If anyone can do it, it would be him.

by Khaled Mon Mar 24, 2014 3:27 am

Meh... Pessi...

by Khaled Mon Mar 24, 2014 3:29 am

Hattrick at bernabeu was impressive, but his passes 1st with assist to Iniesta, the ball to Neymar for 2nd goal and the last one to Neymar which lead to the penalty and 3rd goal... are more impressive...

The only bad thing he did was when he missed that one on one at the beginning of the game, it could have been 2-0!
