Barcelona striker Lionel Messi spent 15 years showing the incredible qualities he possesses, yet he finds new ways to astonish people. His appearance at the Benito Villamarin stadium against Real Betis on Sunday evening was extraordinary and after completing the shirt with a parabola on Pau Lopez from the corner of the penalty area, the Argentine got applause from the entire stadium.

It does not sound like a special thing to say that Messi scored a trick because he has recorded 51 of his professional career. Part of what made his special trick to Betis was, however, the way he scored each goal differently, which indicates the capability of the Barcelona captain.

His first goal of the evening came from free kick. A few meters above the 16-meter high, Messi sent the ball to the left corner of the goal, though Lopez was standing on that side. The attacking force made it almost impossible for the goalkeeper to defend him.

The second goal was more goals scored by a typical striker. Messi ran to the area shortly after Barça won the ball in the Betis field and Luis Suarez found the number 10 of the Catalans with a superposition of heels, then Messi defeated Lopez by sending the ball to the net with the outs left, though under great pressure from Willuam Carvalhom Aissa Mandi and Sidney.

Messi’s third goal was beauty himself. The 31-year-old Argentine paraboloi Lopez from his 16-meter high, with the ball touching the transverse pillar before joining the net. The cameras are captured by Lopez’s reaction, who could not believe what had happened to him. “What a bitch”, it is believed to have told the Spaniard.

With those three goals on Sunday, Messi now has 29 goals this season in La Liga, 11 more than Luis Suarez in second place.

The future of James Rodriguez remains unclear and unresolved. Having scored hat-trick in the 6-0 victory over Mainz, Bayern Munich’s Colombian has talked about returning to Santiago Bernabeu at the end of this season: “We’ll see what’s going to happen.”

Likewise, it was logical to ask whether Zidan’s return would affect his future. James replied: “There is nothing wrong with me and Zidane. Personally, I do not think that will affect my future at all.” For the Bavarians, mid-June is the moment when they have to decide if they will materialize the loan clause, the final purchase of the midfielder for 42 million euros, or they will turn it back.

“We will have to decide if we will sign up with James or not, and ultimately this decision will be taken in consultation by both sides.” It is important that James does what he wants, “explained Uli Hoeness, the president of the Bundesliga giants.

On the other hand, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, chairman of the Bavarian club board, added: “Personally, I strongly believe we will see him playing here next season. We are all happy with him.”
His numbers with Bayern are positive after the start of the season with coach Niko Kovac. In 23 games played, the Colombian scored a total of 7 goals and has provided 6 assists.
