Lionel Messi may have missed out on the Ballon d’Or, but his skill hasn’t gone anywhere.
That much was clear after Barcelona faced off against Espanyol in the Catalan derby, and Messi stole the show.
Cristiano Ronaldo might be away playing in the World Club Cup, scoring hat-tricks, but Messi was lighting up La Liga with some insane skill.
He might not have scored the first three goals, but he made them for Luis Suarez and Jordi Alba, and even by his standards, it was insane.
He did cap it all off with a goal to make it 4-1 and quite frankly, was insane all night. World Class.
