Lionel Messi hit a hat-trick as Barcelona triumphed 3-1 in their Spanish Copa Del Rey last-16 first leg tie at 10-man Atletico Madrid on Tuesday…Receiving a standing ovation for a stellar performance is lovely. But getting it from the opposing team’s fans is something truly special.
Messi completed his treble 10 minutes from time before leaving to a standing ovation with record 24-time winners' Barcelona facing a comfortable task in next Wednesday's return leg.

Messi is looking like the best player in the world for 2009.
ReplyDeleteI would like to comment about the Copa del Rey match in which Lionel Messi stole the show for Barca against Atletico. That was a tremendous performance and a good way for Messi to start the year.
ReplyDeleteI wish to see 2009 as Messi’s breakthrough year. I hope he and Barca can go on to win at every front (La Liga, Champions League and Copa del Rey).
Then people would start to talk more about Messi and less about C.Ronaldo.
Please let me have your feedback in this. I would love to hear them
