First of all, let’s talk about what Messi does so regularly that it seems all so normal. Yes, the hat-trick thing he pulls out of his hat every now and then.
Messi’s 43rd hat-trick
Where most individuals fail to score even 43 goals in a season, Lionel Messi has scored 43 hat-tricks. That is 129 goals in 43 games. And that is just as crazy as it gets. Normal for the Argentine superstar however.

More goals than Real Madrid?
This one is completely unusual. Messi has scored a goal more than Real Madrid has this season. Messi has 25, and Real Madrid altogether have 24. Amazing? Nope, just Messiesque.
AND SOCIAL MEDIA HAS REACTED TOO
Silencing the critics since 1987
