Lionel Messijust keeps pulling it off again and again with Barcelona. The Argentinean star put in another cracking performance in the gameagainst Córdoba.
Messi scored twice, but this time with his right foot - something relatively uncommon for the left-footed player.
The first goal was a belter. The ball fell to him in the area on his right and he smashed it into the top corner. The Córdoba keeper had no chance.
For the second, he brilliantly brought the ball down and fired it at the near post. The goalkeeper Juan Carlos got a hand to it, but was unable to palm it away.
Messi netted another two goals to finish 2014 with a haul of 58 and 22 assists in 66 matches (52 for Barça and 14 for Argentina). Figures like this are the perfect response to those who claim the Argentine has been on poor form for several months.
It has been a big year for Lionel Messi. He crowned himself the top scorer in the history of the Spanish league after surpassing Telmo Zarra's record. He is also the top scorer in the history of the Champions League. Furthermore, Lionel Messi took home the Golden Ball award at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Messi is one of the three nominees for the 2014 Ballon d'Or. The other two are Cristiano Ronaldo and Manuel Neuer.
