Leverkusen couldn't get anywhere near Barcelona. I'm suprised they managed to pull a goal back.

Lots of people now saying that Messi is the greatest player ever. I'm not so sure that he is actually better then Pele or Maradona (even if last night's performance from Messi may quite possibly be the best individual display I've ever seen in a football match). As magnificent as he is for Barcelona, he hasn't yet managed to light up a world cup.
