He was indeed out of this world. The dribbles, the ball control, the passes, the faints. The other thing is that Man city really weren't a decent opponent yesterday and they left him just enough space for his maneuvers.
I know that this debate gets tiring after a while, though I believe he's the most complex player ever to set foot on a football pitch. While CR7 is a brilliant striker, he's a striker only. Messi, though, has been showing more and more playmaking skills recently and when he gets older and his speeds decreases, he can just about become the new Xavi.
