In last night’s Champions League second leg match at home to Bayer Leverkusen the Barcelona star netted five goals.

King Leo Scores five for Barca

With Barcelona going into the match already with a two goal advantage after the first leg in Germany the Argentinian all-rounder put on an amazing display scoring five goals.

His Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola had this to say after the match when talking about Messi: “He’s the best [ever], there is no other like him.”

“The numbers speak for themselves. One day he’ll score six. We’ll never see a player like him again.”

Guardiola then added: “We witnessed one of Messi’s special nights tonight, it’s a gift and I will always be able to say that I coached him.

“The only credit I can take is that I always put him in the team and we just try to make sure he gets the ball. After that our task is done.

“The throne belongs to him and only he will decide when he wants to relinquish it.”

“We’re very fortunate to have Messi, so we have to take advantage of him.”

“He is one-of-a-kind. But the important thing was to advance. The result after that was a consequence of our play.”

Cesc Fabregas the former Arsenal midfielder had this to say about Messi: “From him you expect anything.”

“He is the best player in football’s history and we’ve never seen anyone like him.

“He came in fresh after missing the game at the weekend and we are very happy to have him in our team. “

“We have Xavi and [Andres] Iniesta, so many players who in their position are the best in the world, we have so many options.”

Even though he is the best player in the world Messi himself is so modest when talking about himself, and would much rather heap the praise on the team as a whole.
