After the first goal showing that, and then scoring the hat-trick in 15 minutes.

credit to him for being confident in his ability

messi is humble and respectful

Actually i think he said the first celebration was for his friend. This is what i read in the Barcelona section....

Messi is humble and respectful.

Arrogant player

How predictable Spanish League has become /halftroll

Messi.

After watching the quickie hat-trick and that gesture, Xabi's butt-hurt threshold had been reached.

He's letting UEFA know that he wants a hat trick...

Messi is the best. Give credit where it's due.

99% of the people that don't like him are Real Madrid fans though... isn't that a bit suspicious?

Like him or not , he's just fantastic

i wonder how many hat-tricks he has accomplished with Barca ; must be a lot after seeing that

You guys do know that messi explained on this video that the reason that he made that gesture, was to dedicate to a old friend that he met when he was about to leave to the game. And the reason why he did the 1,2,3 gesture was because the number 123 was something significant.

So yes messi is humble and respectful unlike a guy who told the real sociedad supporter to "go and *bleep* themself and go to hell" on portugese last night. But that has nothing to do with this thread.

1. That is the most retarded reason to finger "1,2,3" ever LOL. He may have made it up on the spot, just sayin'

2. Obvious troll is obvious, then you complain about threads being derailed with Barca hate so all in all I have nothing but lulz for you and that post

Tbh I don't know that many Messi fanboys IRL, most are more fond of Puyol, Pique, Xavi and Iniesta and miss Ronaldinho. And from my experiences the only one who likes Messi is Barca fans, why would anyone like him? he rapes a big number of teams, and I just don't like his whole attitude that much, but a fantastic player one of the best i have ever seen (please no comments about Ronaldo.

I really like Messi and I'm a Liverpool fan.

A cool celebration, too.
