‘No words to describe Messi’

Gerard Pique has insisted that 'no words can describe' Lionel Messi following the forward's hat-trick during Barcelona's 5-1 victory over Espanyol.

The Argentine matched Cristiano Ronaldo's exploits against Celta Vigo on Saturday by hitting a treble of his own in the Catalan derby 24 hours later.

Ronaldo's performance warranted Sergio Ramos to declare that 'new words were needed' to explain the Real Madrid forward's impact, and now Pique has followed suit regarding his Barca teammate.

"It was a tough game. We were better in the second half and corrected the errors we made. Now we must stay on this path," the defender told reporters after the match at Camp Nou.

"There are no words to describe Messi. He's given us so much that, I repeat, there are no words to describe everything he's done for us."
