Play of the Game: Lionel Messi shutting the critics

'All rights belong to SkySports'

Lionel Messi went to this game after failing to score in his last three games. Tonight he scored a hattrick with 18 minutes.

PS! I know that he made this 123 gesture after his first goal, but thats symbolic and made by SkySports not by me.

Messi: "The 1-2-3 celebration after my first goal was for a friend, 123 is a special number for him."

@CarlosCordova Veuràs, li vaig al Barcelona, nadamas dic que en realitat xavi i iniesta ajuden molt a messi .... no hi ha dubte que messi és un gran jugador, de tota manera no li dono el vot, cada un té un punt de vista, si no t'agrada el meu "Dont mess with my Commentary.".

1 # I'm giving a lot of criticism that seems true.

2 # Why the hell you get into conversations that do not care?

3 # This is not your problem, just say my point of view. Et calles la boca?! Tros de merda? que ningú importa!!

@FCBEGJ10 I know right, nobody remembers who came second.

50 years from now people will have forgotten who Ronaldo was, whereas Messi will be remembered for the legend he is !!!

@lortuno6 No he ain't lol. You're just repeating what you hear everyone else say. Truth is Messi has proved many times that he can go alone whenever he wants. He has almost as many assists as goals, he plays defense, he provides options for teammates who are in need, but most importantly he's constantly probing the defense and tiring out the defense. I'd like to see u defend Messi 1v1 lol.

@VasilisSuarez I like how you say this to the Barca supporter while 90% of Madrid supporters are doing the EXACT same thing. Get real.
