#4 New season, same old Messi
Lionel Messi continues to defy every odd and continues to win over many football fans with each passing game. The Argentine has been superb in La Liga this season, scoring five goals in five games, but he looks like he is hungrier for success in Europe.
On Tuesday, Messi completely dominated the game on his own and ended up with three goals to his name. The 31-year-old set the ball rolling with a marvellous freekick before adding two more to finish off PSV.
It might be a new season, but Messi remains the same old lethal attacker who has always scored goals for fun. Anytime he is in this mood, he comes across as unstoppable and PSV just became his latest victims.
The season is still young, and one game is not enough to describe Barca as favourites for the Champions League, but with Messi in such form, Blaugrana fans have every right to dream big.
