No amount of Lionel Messi is ever enough by Rory Smith
A recap of yesterday's Messi hat-trick, this was a great read from Rory Smith:
But the third was greeted with something deeper, wilder, a frenzy that felt almost religious. That is what Messi has always done. There is no measure of cynicism that can survive the sheer, childlike wonder he inspires, no grizzled wisdom that he cannot convert to giddiness and awe. Perhaps that is his greatest gift, the truest gauge of the impossible scale of his talent: that no matter how excited you are to see him play, it is not – and it can never be – enough.
