“I can’t remember the last time I scored five goals, so I’m very happy,” Messi said. “It’s nice to score five goals.”

The three-time FIFA player of the year was unstoppable, scoring in the 25th, 42nd and 49th minutes to mark a 3-0 lead and his 17th career hat trick for Barcelona, then added another two goals in the 58th and 84th minutes to inch first five-goal game of his professional career. Messi is the fourth player to score five goals in a European Cup match — and the first since the 1978-80 season.

“Without Messi, Barca is the best team,” Leverkusen coach Robin Dutt said. “And with him, they are in another galaxy.”

The Argentina forward has 48 goals for Barcelona this season, including 12 in the Champions League. His Champions League career total increased to 49 goals, tying with Alfredo Di Stefano for fourth on the all-time European Cup/Champions League career list.  At just 24 years old, he has 228 goals for Barcelona and is just seven goals away from tying Cesar Rodriguez (235) for the club’s career scoring record.

With this victory Barcelona cruised into the quarterfinals of the Champions League with a massive 10-2 aggregate win.

Though the Americans were spectacular in this tournament they could not grab their third straight title, and ninth overall, in the tournament before losing a tough game to Japan 1-0 in the semifinals in a rematch of last summer’s Women’s World Cup final.

But they beat Sweden for the third place with great performance. Morgan said we had a lot of emotions after the last game and we were sad, so going into this game we wanted to get a shutout and finish the tournament off right playing the style that we like to play and we did that.

Morgan made a quick start on the scoreboard after running onto a pass from Heather O’Reilly just four minutes into the game and she scored her second goal in the 33rd with an angled shot off the right palm of Lindahl. While Wambach scored in the 36th, running across the 6-yard box to head in Christie Rampone’s free kick. Morgan marked herself with a hat trick in the 72nd minute, catching Lindahl off her line again and lobbing a chip shot from Lauren Cheney over the Swede from 12 yards out.

For the title race it was Germany’s day finishing off with a 4-3 victory over Japan.

Lionel Messi is the first to score five goals in Champions League and no one had ever scored five times in a Champions League match. Messi thrilling performance gave the upper hand to defending champion Barcelona crushing Bayer Leverkusen 7-1 on Wednesday night to move into the quarterfinals with a 10-2 aggregate win.

Robin Dutt, Leverkusen coach stated without Messi, Barca is the best team, and with him they are in whole new another galaxy. While Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola said we’ll never see a player like him again and He is really one of a kind, the best, there is no other like him and the numbers speak for themselves. One day he’ll score six. We’re very fortunate to have Messi, so we have to take advantage of him.

24-year old Lionel who carries the title as three-time FIFA player of the year scored in the 25th, 42nd and 49th minutes for a 3-0 lead and it was Messi’s 17th career hat trick for Barcelona, after which he went on adding fifth and sixth goals in the 58th and 84th minutes to mark himself for the first time scoring five-goals in game of his professional career.
