Barcelona chief Guillermo Amor says the world knows Leo Messi is the best on the planet.

Messi scored a hat-trick in Barca's Champions League rout of PSV Eindhoven on Tuesday night.

Amor said, "He has been at his level and has made a great hat-trick.

"We have to be happy, what we know about Messi, we see him sometimes train and we see him play every week, I think that everybody thinks about it and that the world of football, players, fans, they agree that he is the best, whether or not he is in The Best and in the candidacies, the whole football world knows it, that he is the best."
