Pique hails Messi after tremendous performance in Seville

Pique hails Messi after tremendous performance in Seville

The defender didn't bite his tongue after the Argentine's brilliant rendition at the Sanchez Pizjuan

Lionel Messi had a brilliant game against Sevilla, scoring, setting one up and playing incredibly against the Andalusians in the second half. He was decisive for Barcelona once again. 

Gerard Pique did not make the trip because of his injury and watched on television. After the game he decided to make a tweet, which read: "If the Ballon d'Or was given to the best player in the world, Leo would have won it every year since 2009. Another level."

It is likely something that will upset many in Madrid, because of Cristiano Ronaldo's claim to the award, but Pique has a good point.
