Lionel Messi has again shown his best performance by scoring three goals when Barca crushed Malaga 4-1. Even they need up to thirty minutes waiting Messi first goal, he shown best timing and positioning here, he jumped and scored from header which is not his strength point. Another goal came from Alexis Sanches after scrimmage and shot rebound ball. Messi scored another two goals on second half, again his trademark dribbling and running , ended up with accurate placing shot in the back of Malaga's Net. Malaga's Ruud Van nisterooy seems too old and lost his speed and accuracy.. What do you think about Barcelona and Messi performance in this game? Here's player configurations: Malaga: Wilfredo Caballero, Joris Mathijsen, Martin Demichelis, Nacho Monreal, Jesus Gamez, Enzo Maresca (Rondon 61'), Nacho Camacho, Eliseu, Santi Carzola (Recio 79'), Ruud van Nistelrooy(Seba Fernandez 60'), Isco Barcelona: Victor Valdes, Gerard Pique, Javier Mascherano, Eric Abidal, Dani Alves, Sergio Busquets, Andres Iniesta (Pedro 73'), Adriano (Jonathan Dos Santos 67'), Thiago, Lionel Messi, Alexis Sanchez (Isaac Cuenca 64')

This is Messi's fifth hat-trick of the campaign which is really a mind boggling statistic for a mid field player. He simply seems to be scoring for fun now. I think the other clubs in the La Liga would be willing to pay whatever price Barcelona sets on his head to ensure that some club from any other league take Messi with them. :) Cheers! Ram

well..it`s not easy for buying Messi.. he is suitable with Barcelona atmosphere..that situation when maybe he never get it outside Barcelona.. thats the secret why Messi can`t be stopped..he is unstoppedable, even Vidic admit that there are difficult for stopping Messi.. i think we must once again see how Messi give his magic in the second leg in copa del ray when his team play against Barcelona..
