#1 Magical Messi
Such is the greatness of this man that despite his teammate scoring a hattrick, it is still him who registered the best performance of the night. It was a sort of display from Messi against Girona that just makes you look at him in awe and just smile. Even wine does not improve as well with age as compared to Messi.

The Argentinian produced two assists and two goals on the night and in reality, could have scored a lot more. His first saw him wiggle past four Girona defenders and then glide the ball into the bottom corner.
His second was an under-the-wall free-kick which is always a delight to watch. Messi could have had his hat-trick but his stunning lob over the Girona goalkeeper was cleared off the line by Bernardo.
On the night when Cristiano Ronaldo also scored a brace, Lionel Messi needed to put out a reminder yet again to show who's the best. It can be termed as the perfect performance from the little magician and at the risk of getting carried away by Messi's magnificent display, this can be termed as the performance of the season from the 30-year-old.
Another stunning feat.
