'Are you serious?': Barcelona joke over debate on Messi winning Champions League Player of the Week

Highlights

- Barcelona have joked that there is only one winner for Player of the Week

- Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Frenkie de Jong and Donny van de Beek all nominated

- The Catalan side took to Twitter to ask the Champions League: 'Are you serious?'

- Messi inspired Barcelona to an emphatic 3-0 win over Liverpool on Wednesday

Barcelona have jokingly questioned whether there's any need to hold a vote for this week's  Player of the Week poll.

While each nomination has its own merits, Barcelona jokingly believe the answer is obvious in that Messi should be named as the competition's player of the week without question.

After UEFA posted the poll, Barcelona replied: 'Come on, @ChampionsLeague! Are you serious?'

Messi has won the accolade three times already this season but surprisingly missed out on the award the whole of last season.
