I was lucky enough to catch Lionel Messi in action at the Champion’s League final last year between Manchester United and Barcelona. The guy’s skills were unreal and it honestly looked like I was watching some tekkers game of Fifa at my mates house (apart from I was at Wembley and I was watching a real game of football).

Now there are two videos knocking around the internet at the moment which back up why Lionel Messi is an complete don, the first is of a ridiculous free kick he took last week which fair enough the keeper wasn’t entirely ready but that’s part of the magic, Messi totally did him over. The second video shows how Messi isn’t like most of the other sissy-boy players who’ll go down at the slightest touch and roll around the floor in ‘agony’ for the hope of a foul or even a card cos he can just completely out skill EVERYONE. Check out both videos below:
