WATCH: Lionel Messi's Winner vs Real Madrid With Ray Hudson Commentary Is Everything

"Lionel Messi is the greatest poet of football on God's green earth. You could drop a tarantula in his shorts and he'd still be cool."

There's one thing in life that is certain to cheer me up on a rather bleak day in Manchester, and she isn't sat right next to me chatting shite about Pretty Little Liars.

His name is Ray Hudson and he is the greatest commentator to walk on this planet (sorry JR).

Ray is the guy who brings football to life in such a unique and clever way that can make you laugh, cry and smile all in one movement.

He is the guy who's Geordie accent brings joy to our lives in ways we cannot describe.

And last night's incredible scene that saw Lionel Messi score in the dying embers of a Clasico to secure a historic goal in Barcelona's season is where Ray comes into play.

He used his incredible wit to describe an almost out of body experience.

If you think of legendary commentary moments, this should now spring to mind:

How good is this, though.

I'll just leave you with this rather magnificent tweet from @MenInBlazers

Thank you, Ray.

Keep up the good work you beautiful human being. (I can see my girlfriend peering over as I write this, but you're the one for me, Ray.)

Legend.
