Barcelona manager Ernesto Valverde has heaped praise on Lionel Messi after his superlative display in the Blaugrana's 5-1 win over Real Valladolid at the Camp Nou on Tuesday.
Messi scored twice and set up goals for Arturo Vidal and Luis Suarez after Clement Lenglet's early goal had been cancelled out by Kiko.
There were numerous highlights of the Argentinian's glorious performance, but perhaps chief among them was his pinpoint 34th-minute free-kick from 25 yards:
