Lionel Messi

On Tuesday night Barcelona played Arsenal in their second leg of the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League. Barcelona went on to win the game 4-1 and the series 6-3. The headline of the game was not the score though, it was all about Lionel Messi. The Argentinean forward scored all four goals for Barcelona. The day after the game everyone involved in the soccer media wrote how they no longer had words to describe his play. I think it was best summed up by his national coached, Diedo Maradon who in his time was considered the best in the world. Maradona said that Messi is currently, "playing kick-about with Jesus," and I think it's true. Messi has been playing like a god and as I soccer fan I hope that he continues to play like this for a long time because it is simply amazing to watch.
