Twitter is Messi-merized as Barcelona outclass Espanyol in derby

Words cannot describe and stats cannot back up Lionel Messi’s performance against Espanyol. The Barcelona star was on top of his game yet again and there is absolutely no one in the world who wouldn’t have applauded him for his mesmerising performance last night.

Here are the best tweets that 'almost managed' to put words on his amazing game:

Messi just conducted more unbelievable football magic in 2 minutes than the latest BDO winner has in 2 years. debate is farcical.

The only reason why they say Messi isn't the greatest footballer in history is pure envy. He's been the GOAT since he was 23 years old.

It’s such a shame that Messi has to stand up every year in a podium to make people think that actually there are players close to his level.

When you count your blessings, don't forget to count Messi twice.

Messi should realize that footballers have family to feed. Stop destroying careers. #HalaMadrid

If you watch Messi play you know he's the best. If you look at stats, he didn't get an assist today. But those two goals were ALL HIS WORK.

Messi and Ronaldo in the same sentence is a blockable offence. Blockable as in blocking your oxygen supply.
