Twitter explodes as supernatural Lionel Messi helps Barcelona destroy Sevilla
Barcelona annihilated Sevilla at the Camp Nou to keep the pressure on Real Madrid at the top of La Liga table. Luis Enrique’s side secured a comfortable 3-0 win over Jorge Sampaoli’s troops courtesy of some insane football by Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar.
Messi returned to the starting line-up having missed the last game due to suspension and scored a brace while also setting up a ridiculous overhead kick for Luis Suarez in the rout. The diminutive Argentine's rather unique celebration was the talk of town, more on that later.
Twitter, as you would expect, didn't hold back and showered praise on the legendary footballer. Here are the best tweets:
Need we say more?
And some Messi stats, because life is incomplete without them
Can you argue against it? I can’t?
And the much talked about Messi celebration
Some Barcelona stats as well
A hint of genius from Luis Suarez
And Neymar!
What can you say about Iniesta, that hasn’t already been!
And some more Messi before we end things...
Is there really an heir to Lionel Messi’s throne?
