Outrageous penalty by Messi. He faked to shoot, keeper dived and rolled it 5 yards to his right for Suarez to score his hat-trick. Never seen one like that before. Unbelievable.

Made me spit my vino out! Unreal. Looks like he encroached a tad but who cares?

Five Barca goals in last 30 mins - one of the best half hours of attacking football you will ever see. Different species.

Oh and it would have been Messi's 300th goal if he had scored the pen but chose not to...

Just making a mockery out of a competitive game in a top league where there is little competition apart from 2/3 clubs.

Leicester, who were unlucky today, are showing why the Premiership and the unpredictable championship are the most exciting leagues in the world.

And many years before.... (2min 35sec)

Where the hell does that no.4 defender come from? I assume outside the area but on the side - are you even allowed to do that now? Not a bad idea in case the keeper spills it sideways but in sure it's 'behind the ball' now...?

I was sure someone did something similar maybe 20 years ago. Highbury, North bank. My version of history also includes the goal being disallowed for ungentlemanly conduct and a subsequent rule change to outlaw any repetitions. Unfortunately I can't find it after a reasonable attempt so memory must be playing tricks.

More importantly, this just seems to me like another step on the road towards the Harlem Globetrotterisation of La Liga. Some fantastic players but so little competition. This is what we can look forward to if collective TV rights in the UK (perhaps I should say England) are broken up by that clown at Leeds.

Just an opinion but I think FIFA should outlaw such a move it is just taking the p..s out of fellow professionals.

I wouldnt want to see a Brighton player do it irrespective of the score.
