10 - Lionel Messi - v1

[e28makaveli]

His ball control is unreal. Nutmegging players when they have their legs opened up too much is one thing. Doing it when they are just standing normally and from such an angle is just unreal.

U said it mate. Look at just how much clearance he had in between the legs. Phenomenal Messi.

 

[e28makaveli]

He looks so sharp. Everytime he touches the ball, he creates havoc. And he didn't even try tonight.

Word.

Looked as if he couldn't be asked tonight at times.

Still did his thing when he wanted.

 

[UberNjufer]

he was so unmotivated tonight, didn't make almost any effort, didn't see the ball most of the game. but still produced a few moments of brilliance.

didn't really enjoy his performance tbh.

+ it looked like he was on a beach in 2nd half

how did that ball go through spahić's legs,unreal

 

[BarcaGirl]

He really loves the chip. I think they should just call it 'The Messi'.

 

[desoe]

Loving the chip is one thing, but making it look so easy is just ridiculous.

Cesc, Iniesta, Alexis and Pedro need to watch and practice this for some 1000 times.

his interview with skysports from earlier today

"How about you, you've scored 50 goals already this season. The other night you only scored two... are you worried about your dip in form?"

Do we have any replays of Messi's disallowed goal?

Every video I've seen does not cut to a useful angle.

his chips look so effortless when, in fact if you have ever tried these while kicking footy with your mates, they are incredibly difficult and require tremendous skill... never mind executing these on on high speed runs with defenders haggling you. unreal

Makes sense. Also, Pedro's atrocious drought in front of goal recently gives us a glimpse of how hard it really is to score in the pros. Messi just makes everything look so easy. Taps ins can be bottled just as easily with a split second lack of focus.
