That's one of Messi's greatest strenght. His 3 dimentional perception of the field is phenomenal. In that department only Busquets is his equal.
Added to that his perfect and instantaneous decision making and his exeptional technique and you have the perfect football player. Pretty sure we wont see in our life time someone that come even close to Leo.
And of course that pass was 100% intended to either iniesta or alba.
