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?

When in this kind of form, there's daylight, rainbows and a galaxy, between Leo Messi and the next best player on the planet. Supernatural

What a run from Leo. Suarez is the most resourceful striker in the world and that's what makes him the best by a distance.

What can you say about Iniesta, that hasn’t already been!

If I could only watch one footballer (excl. Messi) until the day I die...Iniesta would be that guy! #RomancingTheBall

Is there really an heir to Lionel Messi’s throne?

Talk of Neymar surpassing Messi needs to stop. He hasn't. He won't. He doesn't need to. They're teammates, not competitors. End of story.
