Let's not forget he hit the post with a chip which defied physics.
Great game, I especially love how selfless he was choosing to set up his teammates instead of trying to make isolated runs into the box just because he can. While I can't call him MOTM ahead of Xavi and Villa, still a vintage performance from a ridiculously good player. His passing is getting better by the day too.
