5 best moments of the week from European football

#5 Lionel Messi lights up the Camp Nou yet again

Messi was at it again against Celta Vigo

Amidst all the off-field chaos at Barcelona regarding the manager, the board and the players, there is one thing that remains constant – Lionel Messi’s brilliance. With Luis Enrique to step down at the end of the season and Lionel Messi’s contract talks dominating the news, Barcelona has slowly been improving their performance game after game since the PSG defeat.

While it looks like Barcelona’s improvement is a team effort, which saw Enrique experiment with a new 3-4-3 formation, as well as the return to form of key players like Ivan Rakitic and Sergio Busquets, Barcelona can never be the team they are without Lionel Messi.

Is a repeat of last season where Celta Vigo decimated the Barcelona side at home but go thrashed by the Catalans in Barcelona, Lionel Messi ran riot, bagging two goals to take him to 23 goals this season. Both of Messi’s goals were a work of art, to put it in simple words.
