The Argentine has been highly influential in the UEFA Champions League, helping the club earn a brilliant start to their European campaign by bagging a fantastic hat-trick to inspire a 4-0 victory over PSV Eindhoven, before leading the club to another vital 4-2 thrashing of Premier League side, Tottenham Hotspur - a game in which he also bagged 2 goals.
Messi has also been very impressive in LaLiga, recording an incredible 7 goals and 5 assists to his name in 9 appearances in the Spanish top flight, as well as helping to establish the Catalans on top of the league table before going on a short injury layoff.
