Watch: Leo Messi Bends Space And Time With Assist For Luis Suarez

It's been pretty much evident since the beginning of the season but, after seeing Cristiano Ronaldo scoop the last two Ballon d'Ors and lead Real Madrid to back-to-back Champions Leagues and last season's La Liga title, Lionel Messi is officially back on his bullshit again.

And this week, he's decided to torment Eibar with as good an assist as you're likely to see all season.

Not content with scoring roughly 125 goals a season, Messi is racks up assists with frightening regularity. And judging by the way he bent space and time to lay on Luis Suarez for today's opening goal against Eibar, it's no wonder.

This is just a little preview of what Chelsea have waiting for them in their Champions League round of 16 game, in midweek. Good luck with that, lads.
