Last night's wonder show from Barcelona and Argentina wizard Lionel Messi proved that he really has the world at his feet. The master-class produced by the diminutive Messi was simply breath-taking as he inspired his side past Stuttgart into the quarter-finals of this year's Champions League.
Messi had a role in the first two goals in the Spanish sides 4-0 win on the night. Messi grabbed an excellent opener after only 12 minutes and had a hand in setting up Pedro for his sides' second. Messi got his name on the score-sheet for the second time on the hour, bringing his tally in the last four games to eight goals, before Bojan put the icing on the cake for the Catalan giants.
Last night's performance came hot on the heels after a hat-trick againts Valencia in the league at the weekend in another awesome display from the Argentine. Barcelona continue to fight for both La Liga and the Champions League and if Messi continues the form he has shown in his last few outings few would bet against them retaining both titles this season.
In a world cup year, Argentina must feel that even with the insane Diego Maradonna in charge, talent like Messi can inspire his nation to world cup glory. If Messi can continue this form he will rightly be known as the greatest player o the planet.

I would like to respectfully disagree with you. Darren Fletcher is currently the greatest player on the planet, it's the fact that he is Scottish holds him back. Had he been Brazilian and named Dario Fletchnaldo you would be lauding him with praise. Good day to you sir
ReplyDeleteAfter the Fletchnaldo show today you can hardly doubt my claims in the previous comment.
