For those of you that missed it, Lionel Messi scored 4, yes 4 goals in Barcelona’s UEFA Champions League Match against Arsenal. Every goalkeeper has dreamed about playing for a legendary club like Arsenal, playing in the Champions League, and facing the top forwards and strikers from around the world. But those dreams instantly turn into nightmares when players like Lionel Messi score four goals within a single game. It’s alright, Manuel Almunia, you’ll get them next time!

It’s also worth mentioning that during ESPNews, a commentator compared Messi to baseball’s great (cheater), Barry Bonds when showing the clips of the goals. Messi is still very young, Barry Bonds wasn’t nearly as a threat early in his career. Trying to compare Messi to someone who an American non-soccer fan would know? How about Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, or Sidney Crosby.
Come on, ESPN!
