I thought so, too. There was this run he did where I could swear it was Messi if I didn't know better. He was fouled two or three times but he kept going.
Spanish football is just multiple levels above anyone else. Sublime intelligence combined with technique and tactical awareness makes Spain's football culture stand out, even the U21 and other youth teams are demolishing and overpowering everyone else. A clear idea of how to play football, incredible passing, constant movement, thinking 3 or more steps ahead. Absolutely brilliant football, happy to live in the Spanish and Messi era.
