Harry Potter has nothing on Lionel Messi.
The Barcelona star was at his mesmerizing, magical best on Sunday, leading his side to a vintage 5-2 victory over Athletic Bilbao that has the Catalan club back within just one point of Real Madrid for top spot in the league.
Scoring one of his own and setting up two others, the human-hyperbole's most exciting moment came in the build-up to a goal he received no credit for on the official stat sheet.
Clearly, we need to re-work some elements of said stat sheet.
The second assist. If only football had hockey's point system.
