Lionel Messi: 'Crisis? What crisis?'

Barcelona forward Lionel Messi has said that he was not in a crisis before he put an end to his recent goal drought.

The Argentine had not scored in three games before his first-half hattrick in Barca's 5-0 win against Mallorca at the Nou Camp on Saturday night.

"It's crazy to say that after three games [without a goal] I was in crisis," he told GOL TV. "I do not care whether I score or not, what matters is that the team win and continue to do so."

The hattrick was Messi's third of the season.
