Barcelona manager, Ernesto Valverde, has said Lionel Messi makes the “extraordinary look routine”, after he scored three goals to help Barcelona beat PSV Eindhoven 4-0 on Tuesday night in the Champions League.
Messi’s treble against the Dutch champions was his eighth in the Champions League, moving him clear of Juventus’ Cristiano Ronaldo with seven.
“It’s a blessing to have Messi in your side and a problem for anyone that doesn’t [have him].
“He makes the extraordinary look routine. Today he scored three goals, with the free kick coming at the moment we needed it in terms of opening the game up. It was a magisterial free-kick, and he never tires of scoring hat-tricks.
“We’re seeing something unique, something that hasn’t been seen for many years. As a player in La Liga, I don’t remember anyone like him. And it will be tough to find anyone else like him in the future,” Barca coach Valverde said in his postgame news conference.
