It was another day to watch the GOAT Lionel Messi display his prowess in front of goal against Eibar. Messi grabbed a first half hattrick for Barcelona, and ended the game with four goals in a match that Barcelona won 5-0.

That win had a number of implications for Barcelona. On a day that Real Made lost their own game 1-0 to Levante, the win meant that Barcelona went back to the top of the table with a two point lead. The win also meant that Barcelona surpassed Real Madrid in the All time League goals with 6151 to Real Madrid's 6150.

While it is looking really good for Barcelona right now, I fear for them because they rely too much on Lionel Messi both to create goals and even score them. Messi is in the twilight of his career and he is not getting any younger. And instead of Barcelona to begin to prepare for life after he is gone, they are centering their whole team and football around him. I fear for them how they will cope when he eventually calls it quits with football. But that's all in the future, they can enjoy the present with their win.
