Lionel Messi blasted home a Champions League hat-trick of his own on Wednesday.
The Argentine star scored three as Barcelona beat Ajax 4-0 at the Nou Camp in their group stage opener, 24 hours after Ronaldo’s stunning hat-trick in the 6-1 demolition of Galatasaray.
The world’s two best players are putting on a show in the world’s premier club competition.
And it’s just ridiculous how good they are.
Most people have seen Ronaldo’s third last night, a piece of outrageous skill, followed by a smashing finish with his “weaker foot”.
Messi had no similar headline moment against the Dutch giants apart from perhaps a well-taken 20-yard free-kick, but three goals is three goals.
