Messi has won 3 UEFA Super Cups, being crucial most of the time, which is why I will show you in this entry how good he did in every edition he played in. Without further ado, let's look at his performances.
His first performance was against Sevilla in the 2006 UEFA Super Cup. Unfortunately, Sevilla won 3-0, and there wasn't much Messi could do.
Then came the 2009 UEFA Super Cup against Shakhtar Donetsk. This time, he assisted Pedro's goal in extra-time to win the trophy. This would be their 5th trophy out of 6 that they won in 2009.
The next edition Messi would play in was in 2011. He first scored a goal and then assisted Fàbregas for the second and last goal of the game. This obviously won him the MVP Award.

The last time he played in the UEFA Super Cup was against Sevilla in 2015. He scored Barcelona's first two goals, both coming from amazing free kicks, to counter Banega's early goal. After the game went to extra-time, Pedro would take advantage of a rebound from Messi's shot to score the winning goal. All in all, a perfect 10/10 that won him another MVP Award.
As we can see, Messi steps up more often than not in the UEFA Super Cup as well, another point for Messi when it comes to big games.
