First player in UCL history

Messi is the most consistent player of this level since pele and Muller and Cruyff. He is in the elites category.

O your a big boy because you called me a closet fan. Ya coming from an Iranian Madrid fan seems legit. How many Madrid games have you seen live? My guess would be 0. Go back to streaming your Madrid games and let real fans discuss things.

Easily one of the most ridiculous quotes ever on this forum. According to this logic, the vast majority of posters on here have no credibility.

So we can safely say that if Leo ever reaches 75 goals in Europe (enough to surpass Raul at the top) we can call him the absolute GOAT, hear me out, at club level at least. He's at around 50 right now. And he's 24. Wow.

best player in the history of football, he is the best there is, and ever will be. his every goals is a masterpiece....

whoever from barcelona first witnessed his talent, and recommended to barcelona is a legend himself.

Screw it, your post is more spot on then mine.

There was buzz about Messi in Argentina, before he signed with farca so why is the scout a legend?

Grats to Messi, well deserved record that was bound to be broken. Let's stop the CR7/Messi hating for once and enjoy this entertaining week of futbol. Let's not turn this into the goal.com comment section.

Btw-penalties aren't always easy to make, we've seen a lot of misses this season...

At least i don't hide behind a Wisla Krakow logo and call myself a "Neutral". the fear of being called gloryhunter doesn't allow you to show your true color ? get over from this obsession because no one in this forum cares if you're gloryhunter or not.

On Messi's performance vs Bayer Leverkusen:

“Messi is a joke. For me the best ever.” – Wayne Rooney (Man United)

“Its a pleasure to watch this guy……..MESSI” - Jack Wilshere (Arsenal)

“Was this a CL game or was this Messi in a PlayStation game? Unstoppable!!” – Radamel Falcao (Atletico Madrid)

“Not old enough to see some of the greats but can’t believe anyone can have played the game of football as well as Messi.” – Micheal Owen (ManUtd):

“Is Messi the best player of all times?” -Eden Hazard (Lille)

“Fella’s a genius! Best ever by a distance in my life time! Never really saw Pele [...] Wait til he grows up! Souness,Gullit,Venables and now Rooney agree Messi is the best they have seen. He plays a game to which we are not familiar.” – Gary Lineker (Retired footballer, played for FC Barcelona 1986-89)

“Mejores jugador del Mundo Messi! Best player in the World!” – John Heitinga (Everton)

“Messi doesn’t look interested tonight….!!” – Rio Ferdinand (Man United)

“Is Messi a human being?????” – Demba Ba (Newcastle United)

“There is no doubt, you’re from another galaxy. Thanks Leo” – Maxi Rodriguez (Liverpool FC)

When asked about Lionel Messi’s position in world football, FC Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola said: “Messi is among the greatest. Di Stefano, Cruyff, Maradona… And I add Pele, otherwise he’ll be angry.”

The ever-humble Maestro himself acknowledged the performance but stressed that the team’s progress into the quarterfinals was the more important achievement: “5 goals? Nice, but the main thing was to qualify.”

A great performance by Barcelona and Messi

But Bayer hang your heads in shame, never showed up today, at least have some dignity ffs lol

Guardiola's quote :lol!:

Lionel MESSI shatters records with 5 goals

Lionel MESSI continues to not only break records, but shatter them and he did exactly that on Wednesday, when he scored 5 goals in one match in the Champions League against Bayer Leverkusen.

Here are the highlights from the Lionel MESSI show against Leverkusen.


Lionel MESSI is now at 48 goals and 20 assists in 42 matches this season. He finished with 53 goals last season... He's at 48 now! He's also 8 goals away from being Barcelona's all time top goalscorer in all competitions... at the age of 24!

MESSI is also set on becoming the first player in history to be Champions League topscorer for four CONSECUTIVE seasons. Last season, he finished with 12 goals in the Champions League (a record). This season, he's already at 12 goals. He's also #4 in the all-time top goalscorers list in the modern Champions League era.

# Name Goals Caps Ratio
1 Raul GONZALEZ 71 144 0.49
2 Ruud VAN NISTELROOY 56 74 0.76
3 Thierry HENRY 51 114 0.44
4 Lionel MESSI 49 64 0.77
5 Andriy SHEVCHENKO 48 115 0.41
6 Filippo INZAGHI 46 83 0.55
7 Alessandro DEL PIERO 42 96 0.43

Here are some other records and information.

Lionel MESSI has now scored 18 hattricks in his career. 17 for Barcelona and 1 for Argentina.

For the 3rd time in MESSI's career, he has scored 4 goals in one game.

MESSI is the first player EVER to score 2 times 4 goals in a Champions League match. The first time was against Arsenal in 2010.

MESSI is also the first player EVER to score 2 hattricks in one Champions League season.

For the first time in his career, MESSI scored 5 goals in a game.

MESSI had a headache before the game, the team doctor gave him an aspirin.

Here are what some players posted on Twitter:

Jonas GUTIERREZ: "I dont want to be less than MESSI, I'm going to score five the next game, I just need 8 penalty kicks, just in case i miss a few hahaha"

Pablo ZABALETA: "MESSI continues to make history. Amazing Leo, once again!"

Eduardo SALVIO: "Lio MESSI is incredible, the best by far. Thanks for being Argentinine."

Fernando GAGO: "MESSI, simply amazing."

Maxi RODRIGUEZ: "There is no doubt, you're from another galaxy. Thanks Leo."

Alejandro FAURLIN: "I just get home!i had the pleasure to be in the camp nou watching that master class of football! MESSI Looks like is playing 5 vs 5 against."

RONALDO (Brazil): MESSI plays like a ************

Gary LINEKER: “Fella’s a genius! Best ever by a distance in my life time! Never really saw Pele [...] Wait til he grows up! SOUNESS, GULLIT, VENABLES and now ROONEY agree MESSI is the best they have seen. He plays a game to which we are not familiar.”

Michael OWEN: "Not old enough to see some of the greats but can't believe anyone can have played the game of football as well as MESSI."

Wayne ROONEY: "MESSI is a joke. For me the best ever."

DUTT (Bayer Leverkusen coach): "Who has played football, knows there are no words for MESSI. He's at his own level."

Radamel FALCAO: "Was this a CL game or was this MESSI in a PlayStation game? Unstoppable!!"

John HEITINGA: "Mejores jugador del Mundo MESSI! Best player in the World!"

Jack WILSHERE: "Its a pleasure to watch this guy........MESSI"

Demba BA: “Is MESSI a human being?????”

Pep GUARDIOLA: "We can try to make sure the ball gets to MESSI. From then on, we can't do anything, just sit back and watch. MESSI is the best, there's no one else, he's unique. I will always be able to say I've been his coach. We're lucky to have MESSI. It's not easy to score 5 goals in a game. I can know, I scored 11 in my whole career. MESSI is among the greatest. DI STEFANO, CRUYFF, MARADONA... And I add PELE, otherwise he'll be angry."

And here's what Lionel MESSI had to say: "5 goals? Nice, but the main thing was to qualify."

There are no words left to desribe MESSI. Absolutely amazing and that's the biggest understatement. Oh and Alejandro SABELLA was at the match (as was Alejandro FAURLIN according to his Tweet). Absolutely insane.

Congratulations to Lionel MESSI!

3rd goal was offside :vagi:

Best player in history of football, just needs a World Cup to make it official. I hope 2014 will be Messi's one.

Sadly..........No.








France has a better chance of winning.

WOOOO HOOOO~!!! He made the goals look easy, but were not. Even the 4th one was from a tight angle in off the post. The 2 chips were brilliant

He will continue to break records, and become the CL all time top scorer in no time BABY~! :dance: :mental:

Pep is a legend, so I guess he doesnt really rate Pele then

GUTIERREZ has a sense of humour

And amazing to see him 4th in the list already, so fast and hes already past the likes of Inzaghi and Shevchenko

24 and soon to be the Barca all time goal scoring, more

:cyclops:

I refuse to accept that the best player ever is a FW.
I’m picking a DM for GOAT.
Not sure who…

Edgar Davids.

Honestly I don't get that at all.By your definition of fan...there are propably less than a couple 1000 fans on earth who qualify as "real".

Intriguing perspective.Anyways you have the right to your opinion.
