Match of the Week:  Barcelona 7-1 Bayern Leverkusen

Lionel Messi was, for a lack of words, brilliant as Barcelona smashed Bayern Leverkusen.  Messi tallied a remarkable five goals, a total which set a new Champions League record for most goals scored in a single game.  

The Argentine opened his tally in the 25th minute with a wonderful chip shot and added another in the 42nd minute, then bagged two more within 15 minutes after half-time.  With the game nearing its end, he once again thrilled with a solo effort.  Messi gathered the ball at the top of the box and cut onto his left foot, before he hammered a laser into the left side of the net to claim his fifth.  

The offensive explosive means Barcelona advanced into the quarterfinals 10-2 on aggregative, and look poised as ever to be headed to another Champions League final.

Although I had been a big fan of Matt Besler, a name seeming to replace him is logically traced to the name Ream. Tim Ream, a central defender, is coming off another great season for Bolton Wanderers. This season he repeated as the club's Player of The Year. Having started all 43 matches, this stat has caught the eye of Klinsmann.  Morris - 20 yrs old - Stanford - 5 (1) The one name I believe we all would have liked to see was Jordan Morris.  The forward entering his senior season at...
