The match ball from Barcelona's 4-0 victory over PSV Eindhoven is going home with Lionel Messi, who scored his eighth Champions League hat-trick.
He had been level with Cristiano Ronaldo on seven hat-tricks in Europe's premier club competition, but the Argentine now moves ahead of his great rival in this regard.
Way behind the top two are Filippo Inzaghi, Mario Gomez and Luiz Adriano with three Champions League hat-tricks each.

Out of a million Players that has Played in the Champions League, only these two LEGENDS have seven and eight Hat-tricks between them. I really don't want anyone comparing them with Griezmann or Neymar or Hazard. They are way ahead of anyone and they deserve some Special Recognition even after they retire from the Game. G.O.A.Ts forever

Messi even created chances for others he played little bit behind Suarez and Dembele.But still he managed to score a Hatrick.Thats why he called the greatest player.Mostly captains are Defenders or Midfielder why cause they can control the game from behind.But Messi is Messi he capped the team as well as scores. Dembele's goal was awesome his own creation couns in best goals.
