Last night, Lionel Messi once again showed that he is the best player of his generation and possibly ever as he scored a record 5 goals in Barcelona's Champion's League match against Bayer Leverkusen.
There are things that are so hard to explain about Messi, he simply makes the game look effortless. What's more, he appears so humble and takes it all in his stride, remarkable considering he is still only 24.
Messi scored 5 in Barcelona's 7-1 win
He has now scored almost 50 goals in 64 UCL appearances and at this rate will eclipse the likes of Raul in the coming seasons. His fifth goal last night meant he has now scored 50 for club and country this season. 50! Is it me, or is it only the beginning of March?
So many superlatives have been thrown out there to describe the Argentinian maestro, his abilities, records and talent. I won't try to add to them but I will recall an interview that Ronaldinho gave during the height of his powers at the Catalan club in around 2005/6. When asked if he was the best player in the world, he simply responded with "I'm not even the best player at Barcelona".
He was of course referring to the great Lionel Messi.
