梅西戴帽 巴萨4-0击败阿贾克斯

Ronaldo seems to do something remarkable for Real, the golden boy at the Nou Camp always seems to pop up and do something equally amazing for Barca.

That’s exactly what happened last night as the Argentine scored a hat-trick in the Champions League, just 24 hours after Cristiano had done the same.

The home side were taking on Ajax in their group H opener.

Messi before this game was on an incredible 59 goals in the Champions League. And depsite Neymar starting his first game in the competition, it was Messi who was to steal the headlines.

His first came with this free-kick 21 minutes in. Curling it inside the far post with his left foot. Perfect placement just brushing the post. That put Barca 1-0 up.

Ajax had chances of their own, Bojan Krkic - on loan from Barca - here crossing for Ricardo Van Rhijn at the back post. But Victor Valdes is equal to it.

Messi’s second came just after half time, cutting inside from the right flank and finishing low at the front post.

Then this sumptuos cross finds Pique who out-jumps his marker and heads in to make it 3-0.

And soon Messi made it 4, scoring his hat-trick in the process. And doesn’t he make this shot from the edge of the area look so easy. The replay showing how his faked shot completely threw Vermeer in the Ajax goal.

And things weren’t going the visitors way at all, Valdes guessing right and saving Signthorssons penalty, to ensure the clean sheet.
