Foolish for the cameramen to ever switch to closeups when Messi's on the ball
You'd think a career's worth of unparalleled moments would teach them that. Here's the only better shot I could find:

I find it ridiculous that, outside of Barca/Messi fan circles, Leo is actually under-appreciated as a GOAT. The fact that Ronaldo somehow manages to be seen as his equal or semi-regularly beats Messi to individual accolades is evidence of this. If we are speaking in truth and facts, there is no debate. At Messi's best, he produces performances where everything and everyone else on the pitch simply doesn't matter. No one in football can generate the same consistent level of footballing awe over 90 minutes or over a season.
He scored this goal almost casually. It's literally EASY for him to show such incredible superiority to defenders and leave a whole team in his wake. Lionel Messi has changed this sport forever. The day he retires will very well be one of, if not the saddest, days in the entire history of football.
