# Barcelona: Many fans agreed with Cesc Fabregas’ verdict on Lionel Messi

**So many words have been spoken and written about Lionel Messi in an attempt to summarise just how impressive the Barcelona star is.**

Cesc Fabregas had his go at doing it on [**Twitter**](https://twitter.com/cesc4official/status/1179496839441195008), but he went for the simple approach, using just two words:

> Leo Messi

There were many Barcelona fans who loved the former Barcelona midfielder’s approach, feeling that nothing more needs to be said to show Messi’s genius, with this particular comment coming after he helped Barca secure a 2-1 victory over Internazionale in the Champions League.

The highlight was definitely his assist for Luis Suarez’s second of the night, when he carried the ball from the halfway line to the edge of the box before laying it off to the Uruguayan, as shown in the highlights video on the [**BT Sport**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZY9ymlaNjM) YouTube channel – while he also made an important contribution to the first.

A selection of Twitter reaction to Fabregas’ verdict, including posts from pleased Barcelona fans, can be seen below:
