Lionel Messi and Barcelona were given the 'Ray Hudson' treatment during Sunday night's city derby against Espanyol at Camp Nou - the English commentator with beIN Sports in America has become a cult hero for his wacky way with words, not to mention general excitability.
Hudson, who spent most of his playing career in the 1970s and 1980s with various clubs in the United States, was on top form as he described Messi, back to his former dark hair after a dalliance with blonde, as'un-paroxided'.
There were moans, groans, sharp intakes of breath and even a reference to a 'garlic milkshake', while the combination with his American co-commentator was also something special to behold.
As for the game itself, Barcelona put on a bit of a masterclass. Andres Iniesta was back running the show while Messi was at his typical, imperious best. Luis Suarez nabbed two goals, while Jordi Alba and that man Messi got the others.
