It would death in a bat on that run.
Magic.
At the moment.
Here goes Messi.

His first touch.
Just sucks defenders towards him.
Then releases the pass.
How many times has he done that?
What's this lovely skill?
Great balance.
Acceleration.
Lovely touches all the time.
Look at the number of players around him.
Don't know how he manages to get the first one too.
Let alone try and get the second one.

It's delightful.
Oh, still they can't stop him.
How far can he go here?

And he says, I see you, lads.
I don't need you.

Great touch.
Another hat-trick for Lionel Messi.
Joyous football from Barcelona.
And none of Pique almost got away on Messi.
Bartra.
Beautifully by Messi.
And scored.
And there's the need to choose a lower route to goal.
It's Messi.
To Neymar.
To Messi.
That could be the goal.
That could be the title-clinching goal.
And gets it, gets it.
Legal Messi.
Life beats down your soul sometimes.
But goals like this
remind you that you have won.
It's a brilliant run from Messi.
Can he go all the way?
It's one of the great Copa del Rey final goals.
From a magical, mercurial,
the greatest footballer we have ever seen.
Now I've been watching football for some considerable time.
I've seen Stefano.
I saw Cruyff.
I saw Pele.
I saw Maradona.
And fitting into Barcelona's season,
the Spanish champions
and European champions.
Well, any football fan out there loves watching moments like this.
That's just pure genius.
Absolute genius.
And when genius turns up,
genius normally prevails, doesn't it?
Certainly does.
And he has proven he is the best player in the world, Kevin.
Gigi Buffon, the Juventus goalkeeper,
suggesting this week that Messi was from another galaxy.
