Five goals from Argentine genius, which devours and destroys records adjectives, and two of Tello, electrical, initialed by the rout of Barca played with Leverkusen pleasure disappeared.

Someday I will stop playing and start to remind you. Someday we will tell those who come behind us we saw him play. We will try to tell them and cost us a flood of adjectives but surely we will draw a smile. Consider the story as it happens is one of those rare luxuries of sport, see one of the best ever invented break records as football. Leo Messi is a player pluperfect, unique, great. Wonderful sweeping motion and sets rival parties in our retinas. Someday we will say, I actually say: Do you remember ...? What about ...?

Do you remember the 7-1 at Bayer Leverkusen? Leo Messi scored five goals and did not even seem extra-motivated, on one of those days when you play with knives in their eyes. No pressure like a madman or uncheck a million shot. This time was limited to fun, the end of the day what you always do, and fiddling with Leverkusen as a cat with a ball of wool. Sometimes distracted, with a lopsided grin and almost ironic. Against the onslaught of controversial fights, debates, referees and renewals: Messi. And Messi, Messi, Messi, Messi. Five goals for yet another riveting display of a player better than everyone else. The first a beautiful spoon placed the ball on one side of Leno, the third just returned from a luxury break with Vaseline ... with the right. Control, look at the goalkeeper, the frozen time and a touch of magic ball. We must add another opportunist and two whips across the edge of the area, house brand: Leo Messi. Records, devoured rivals, poetry ...

And the numbers ...: Messi sum twelve goals in the Champions League and even the best historical record is the first player to five goals in European Cup for over thirty years and is seven goals of Caesar, the last barrier to be the best striker of Barcelona. Ever. For all comparisons and all measures of Messi have that scale, that last wall: forever.

Party there is little to tell. That Barcelona had a great time and it´s contagious. Leverkusen came out with the minimum decorum went down the drain path of a second time when a lamb was slain, a team of Champions knockout improper and the old legend of German football. But a team, remember, he left in the ditch at Valencia, which had won clearly Bayern in the Bundesliga. Balance of the tie: 10-2 thanks to a goal in extremis Bellarabi. Or makeup. Leno conceded seven, saved a few more and the Leverkusen left without bothering too much and not daring to, as in the first leg, fighting for the shirt to Messi, the sin that cost him the bench this time Friedrich.

The best of Barcelona, ​​who had a ticket to the quarter in his pocket before playing, was that what and who is recalled, he took off for a while the smell of controversy and the troubles of the League, who played football great and as only he plays. Iniesta was superb, low to Xavi and Cesc sharp. The three together, with Mascherano and Busquets of bodyguards and in partnership with Messi and Alves, wove a tapestry of passes that went round the Camp Nou from top to bottom: Barcelona. Leverkusen went cracking, crack crack, clear to uncheck, wall to wall. Twenty minutes after kick conceded the first goal and chose to sleep, stop suffering.

The other memory is for the Farm and in a gray day in search of Peter himself, another exhibition of Tello, who lives with the muses of face and optimum physical energy. He entered with rival surrendered and broke the left wing. Like thunder, generated a ton of arrivals and scored twice with these shots dried, angled ceilings and he honed Henry and he is doing his.

Nothing more, the referees will arbitrate, Guardiola has not yet renewed, the distance in the league is still ten points, the injuries continue to plague the team ... but suddenly everything seems to matter little, it will be okay and that everything is in the rearview mirror. In that there is some magic in that there is a lot of Leo Messi.

The Argentine is put seven goals for Eto `o, the third top scorer in La Liga Barca · Sevilla, Zaragoza, Atletico and Madrid, its main victims · We have marked 25 teams in first and only five have not been his scoring

Leo Messi totaled over 100 goals in the league after 'hat-trick against Almería and continues to make history with the club. The Argentinian star is the fourth top scorer in the history of the Catalan side in this competition and brings together more statistics scandal.

In his seventh season as first team player, Messi continues to break all records. Since that May 1, 2005 in which the `flea 'scored his first goal in La Liga as Barca against Albacete until this November 20, 2010 has been five years that Leo has left many moments to remember.

Speaking only of the season, Messi has been recorded in the retina of all time Barca fans as the 'hat-trick against Madrid in the season 06-07, their missiles at El Sardinero for three consecutive years or his immortal eslaloms in areas such as La Romareda, the Sanchez Pizjuan or Riazor, to give some examples.

Crucial goals that have contributed decisively to take over the domestic tournament four times. In fact, when Messi scored Barcelona almost never loses. In 69 games in which the `flea 'door saw the Catalans lost only once (against Atletico Madrid on 08-09) and tied six times.

Eight goals from Eto `o

101 goals, more than a hundred goals in 154 games spread over 25 teams of First among them as victims with ten goals for Sevilla, Zaragoza and Atletico Madrid with eight and seven or Racing. Only five teams can afford to remember not to have suffered a nose for 'flea': Cádiz, Hercules, Murcia, Real Sociedad and Xerez are the lucky ones.

And very few escape the killer instinct of Leo. `22 doubles and five hat-trick shows his hunger to score. 101 goals, a figure that has more merit than seen at first sight when you consider that only eight were from the penalty spot.

Only Cesar (195) and Kubala (131) can breathe easy for now. Because the third on the podium of gunners at Barça is about to fall. Messi exceed 108 goals from Eto'o in La Liga or a matter of time.

If anything has characterized Messi, beyond its technical strengths is its clear progression. Of the ten goals in the 07-08 rose to 23 in the next. In the past, Messi was top scorer with 34.

But this does not end there: at this point in time (day 12), Argentina had six goals less than now. Having seen, one can only ask the question: what will your next record?.

The last 10 goals of the `10 'Barca in Europe were held at the Camp Nou. Yesterday could break that streak in the Parken Stadium in Copenhagen

Leo Messi is not hidden or in adverse scenarios, such as the Parken Stadion, which Solbakken, the coach of Copenhagen, was charged with arson and turned upside down. Messi is different because it is always shown. Other players often do, irregularly shaped, or almost always, but Argentina never fails. Leo again be the scorer of Pep Guardiola, has scored 7 goals in the last four games, "a coach who has improved so that it seemed impossible to improve. The numbers say it all and `10 'Barca yesterday scored his goal number 100 with Santpedor coach on the bench. And the third season has just begun.

The hundred or so many of Messi is even more amazing considering he has played 117 games under the command of Guardiola. Given that amount and seven seasons with the Barça first team, the growth is spectacular. He has scored as many more goals in two seasons and the months that we have of this than the rest. In total, 142 total goals Leo Messi, a dizzying figure at 23. More than two second parts of this figure has been achieved with Pep on the bench. It is no coincidence, since Guardiola has improved the system for Rijkaard, has turned the team over the rival goal and given freedom of movement completely. But not only their performance has improved since the arrival of Pep, but year after year Guardiola has squeezed better. In their first year together, the `10 'scored 38 goals in 51 games. The second year was 47 goals in 53 games, almost at par, while this year are already 15 goals in 13 games. Someone like Messi has no roof and if you follow this progression will record all scorers Boat and European football figures which take many years overcome.

The difference between Leo and the rest is that Villa and Peter sent the ball to stick in the same way, but Messi for the ball ends up going, while in the case of his companions just outside. As Harvey says, "is one of those players that appear every 50 years" and the big challenge is to keep the Barça few more seasons best at full capacity. Messi will be what has been for Real Madrid Raul, Del Piero for Juventus or Giggs for Manchester United at the club level, but it is what has been Maradona, Pele and Cruyff worldwide. Messi is everything and proves it game by game.

In Europe, the past ten goals from Argentine had scored in the Nou Camp, to Stuttgart (2) and Arsenal (4) last season, and Panathinaikos and Copenhagen this season. His last goal at home in the Champions was in Kiev. Until yesterday. It has also surpassed Rivaldo in international competitions. The Brazilian had 31, and Leo sum 32. And best of all, the only thing that makes him human and unlike others, is his humility in the field. Do not give either his goals and his dribbles, but his relentless willingness to help. The best evidence was given yesterday, recovered to 6 balls, significantly higher than that usually offered, with an average of 1.6 turnovers in each game. In a physical encounter, ugly and rough in which the Catalans had to fight every inch, Messi was first placed at forefront of the fight. Messi is everything: the harp and drum. Pep Guardiola has in hand a player who can leave the history story written by other famous gold of this sport called football.
