Messi is awesome, better than Ronaldo. He is like a younger better beardsley !
As for Barca I see Iniesta is back, so their totally insane midfield of Xavi and Iniesta is back, add to that the wealth of other talent they have that can play there and it doesn't matter that there are only 3 of them, still beat most Premiership teams with ease. Ronaldo is good but messi is something else. Ronaldo just looks like a prick when you see him, messi seems far more down to earth.
I hope Barca get Man U in the CL as they will destroy them this year, even if Messi plays shit, you still have Henry Eto Bojan, Helb, Xavi.....
