I love, love that first gif. :D

Some people going absolutely mental over this. It's like Messi hadn't done anything in 2010 and Xavi had created football. :P I also thought Xavi would/should win it but it's not like Messi was a total flop in 2010, anything but actually.

Messi wins it! Surprise really, I thought it would be Xavi, but this will do. :D

In terms of assists, I think Messi has about 10 more than Ronaldo. That's shows that there is more to his game than just goals, goals, goals. And I too thought Messi wasn't right on Saturday. He was holding his wrist like it was hurting and I think at one point he was coughing and holding his...

Why can't Ronaldo stop scoring? :P I know I shouldn't really focus on that but it's pretty irritating.

What a goal! And 2 assists. Pure magic.

And another thing: When has playing against Stoke at the Britannia become the measuring stick for greatness? For crying out loud, the likes of West Ham have won at the Britannia in recent seasons and I'm pretty sure they're not anything too special.

What a disgrace this man is for football punditry. I know he has to sell the Premier League but to make such remarks is just pure speculation, ignorance from his part and relying on overused clichés.

I'm not saying that he should have scored today but it would have been a great ending to a great match. Messi was brilliant today, would never argue against that. It's just a shame sometimes how people only notice the goals Messi score and not the work that he puts into creating them for others.

Shame didn't score today, had 3 assists though. Great stuff from Barcelona in general. 5 goals or it's a failure seems to be the motto at the moment.

Didn't Messi say that it was just a rumour, him getting married? I'm not sure.

I don't think it's the people necessarily, it's just the Sky hype machine working full-time.

Who is the best player in the world? Lionel Messi 60 % Cristiano Ronaldo 10 % David Villa 2 % Wesley Sneijder 6 % Xavi 9 % Gareth Bale 14 % Great stuff from fourfourtwo.com's readers. Gareth Bale, good God...

Just watched the Rubin match from yesterday and loved when the commentator, as Messi was introduced, went: "And this is a 23-year-old whose name is Lionel Messi." And the co-commentator said: "I believe he has a bit of ability." You just always forget that Messi is so young, he seems to have...

In Italy they're saying that Iniesta will win it, Xavi second and Messi third. That just shows how much the World Cup changes things because however brilliant Iniesta was at the World Cup and has been this season, he was injured a lot during the second half of last season. Personally I think...

Have to bring up goal.com's (also known as lol.com) player ratings. Messi: Two goals, and an assist for Pedro bailed out Barca who were not at their best, but the Argentine is producing form the likes of which football has never seen. 8,5 Ronaldo: Stepped up to the occasion and led the attack...

Superb again from Messi. Two goals and a great assist for Pedro's goal. It seems nothing can stop this man.

I think a rather good article from Sid Lowe on this whole "Ronaldo is a more complete player than Messi" -debate (or is it even a debate, I don't know). http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/sid_lowe/12/03/messi.ronaldo/index.html

I find it quite funny that some people are saying that actually Ronaldo was playing really well last night but he just can't do everything by himself. Isn't that the problem? If he would just for once try to be a teamplayer and not throw a strob if he doesn't get a perfect pass into his feet or...

"Watching Messi tonight made me want to touch myself in naughty ways" Also from the Guardian comments section. :D
