That Little Genius…

[Gavia]

I withdraw my comment. Seems to be a load of random stats floating about but I’ll agree that you’re right.

Another hat trick.

39 for the season, 29 in the league so far.

[ellroy]

Another cheeky hat trick to clinch the league. As you do.

Too good.

They could have done with him tonight. Not even in the travelling squad to the game at Levante.

Barcelona Went 2-0 down and pulled one back to go in at half-time 2-1. Then amazingly went 5-1 down, before pulling it back to 5-4.

That was the first time opposing player scored a hat-trick against them sine 2003 and a team scored 5 since about 2003.

So their chance of an unbeaten La Liga season is over.

Not having a good World Cup and seems unable to, a. Grab a game by the scruff of its neck, or b. play in any other system that is tika-taka Barcelona.

In fairness it’s a disgrace of a team,reserve team players,a keeper who is behind a reserve team keeper.

Disappointing for him, Argentina are a shambles not helped by that lunatic on the line.

The team behaved disgracefully once they realised the game was beyond them but for such a talented set of players they just can't play well as a team, with Messi especially struggling within the way they are sent out to play.

Would help if they had any kind of midfield.

He was picking up the ball from his own half, not really the area of the pitch I’d want him operating in.

[V8covin]

The weight of a nation is on his shoulders and it appears to be too much for him.
Even he can't turn a pigs ear of a team around

[ellroy]

Even Diego said that, he can’t be expected to do it all.

Also Pique was earlier saying people should remember that without him they wouldn’t even be at the World Cup, they’re that bad.

[ellroy]

Some goal that last night. Exquisite control and a great finish.

The team may be no great shakes, but he’s doing his bit.

[Ascayman]

Simply the best ever.

No one that likes football will ever get bored of watching this

What a man.

[anonymous-user]

The first touch was wonderful but it's that second touch with the foot that's just mesmerising. The speed at which he can move the ball and leave the defender is pure magic.

[uk66fastback]

And then he sorts his feet out in an instant, and bang ...

I'm not so sure they'll get past France but they need to start with Aguerro for sure in my book - not Higuain ...

[ellroy]

Another hat trick in the champions league. What a player.

Every one a gem, but shaded by Dembele’s perhaps.

[ellroy]

50th career hat trick today.

And take a look at the volley.....

[ellroy]

Two goals, two assists.

The cheeky penalty, some of the passes, the turn to take out 2/3 before scoring?

Dear. God. He’s inhuman.
