Barcelona defender Pique: You run out ways to describe Messi

Gerard Pique hailed Barcelona teammate Lionel Messi after his hat-trick against Valencia.

Messi produced a second-half masterclass in the 3-0 triumph.

And former Manchester United defender Pique remarked: "Everything is easier when Leo is in the team, he is the best in the world and we are running out of adjectives to describe him."

messi is made to appear by the Spanish media, who desperately wnat to make their league look better than it is...but messi appears good becaus ehe plays in a mickey mouse league....how many spanish teams are in the QF of the CL??? lolol....two teams are competing for the title in Spain...as is the case year after year after year....why cant messi repeat his heroics for Argentina??? i would love Messi to tested in the real Leagues of the world...i know he is class act but at the moment he is performing on a Utopian stage...

At the moment Rooney is on the best form but he is a completely different player to messi or ronaldo. And Man U kind of did make Pique the player he is in the all important development years from age 16-20. We had built him up to the level required for the first team at United just as he left back to his boyhood club. He left as he saw a wall in front of him with Rio and Vidic at United while Thuram was going out, Guardiola had just come in and was rebuilding his side. It was an opportunity for him to go back to Barca with a good chance of making the 1st teams and it does not surprise me he has done well.

i hope rooney wins something in south africa because he's not gonna win ballon d'or in he's life
