Lionel Messi makes the “extraordinary seem routine” according to Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde, who watched him score his eighth Champions League hat-trick to sink PSV.

Messi moved ahead of his great rival Cristiano Ronaldo’s tally of trebles in the competition after paving the way for a 4-0 win with a stunning 32nd-minute free-kick.
