Lionel Messi ● 10 Unthinkable Goal Attempts for Impossible Goals !!

Severe escape, but only just. I do wonder sometimes the merits of Barcelona taking corners directly into the box, because they don't have a great record of scoring goals. Messi went direct, tried to score himself. He was off the near post there. Outstanding shot back from Luis Suarez with real power. Comes back off the crossbar. Into the middle, Suarez a bit sloppier here. We have to get a look at this, Phil. This one hits the post, it looks like. Let's take a look at this again. It hits the post. Amazing from Messi. Ten shots to six. Spectacular game from Blaugrana, this was almost perfect. Messi is on his way, Messi is on his way. Messi is playing, Messi, Messi, Messi. Messi is leaving, Messi is leaving. Messi! Messi, Messi, Messi! Oh no! What a barbarity! It never ends here. He's a great player. He's been playing since he was a champion. He's a great player. He was explosive and clinical for Argentina. Messi here has robbed Miquel. Messi holds off 3-4 players. Lino, Messi for Argentina. Great save! But the follow-up is tapped in. And it's 2-0. It's Di Maria this time, I think. Messi here was simply unstoppable. Too hot to handle. Glides free of 3-4 defenders. Anoukbe's save, but Di Maria's tap-in. 2-0. He makes it again. It's Messi. And punished there. Look at that. Four defenders. Couldn't stop it. Goalkeeper did, but not for long. Di Maria with Diego's handkerchief. Falcao. But Valdez's fist hit him. Ball for Messi. Messi starts in front of Gabi. Messi holds on. Messi, Messi, Messi. Messi, the world football genius of the 21st century. He's off. Antonio Lopes. Messi. Messi on the front. Perea. And he's going to score. No, yellow card. Yellow card, yellow card. He thinks Messi is going out. Barça's foul on the front. What a ride from Leo Messi. I was laughing because I saw David Villa scoring. David Villa was drunk. He was scoring, but he said, if they go faster... He was drunk. You see Messi... We see loads of touches from Lionel Messi. Close control. Ball never gets away from him. Dropping his shoulder. Selling dummies all over the place. Cute angle. Still tries that shot. You've seen him score from that angle. So many occasions. He might be able to slide it in. There's a bit of white shirt. Dropping to the floor all over the place. Once he gets the 18-yard box, they can't physically challenge him. Good save from the keeper in the end. Here's Weyland-Bornsen to half's head. It'll Messi, does Lionel Messi turn? Away he goes. Messi takes an all-cover. Messi keeps going. That is the only way to stop him. What a free kick. That could be the final foul. What a tackle, yes. It was certainly a case to be answered. We'll face this game. Let me see Lionel Messi for the first time tonight. Successful with one of those amazing runs. Four or five players. Amor Abieta had a swipe at him. Javi Martínez makes contact. Could quite easily have been given as a penalty. Well, that was, wasn't it? Yeah, Javi Martínez. Amor Abieta tried to have a swipe at him. There's no contact made on the ball by Javi Martínez. Offers up another decent opportunity for Barcelona. Both the fans and the players seem to feel that the vibrancy's gone out of this clash a little bit. Messi, though. When Messi's on the pitch, anything can happen. And if Messi feels that there's an area of his game that needs improving, he goes and improves it. And this season it's clearly been direct free kicks. That was a bullet. That was absolutely unstoppable. And if that had been, what, two centimetres further down, that would be one of the goals of the season in the Copa del Rey. Yes, made by the man in the wall as well. Ducking down. I think it's Andre Gómez who just ducks moves out of the way. It's a great angle to hit it at as well for Messi because it's just going slightly away from Miguel Ángel Moya. He wouldn't have got to it even if it had been just those two centimetres.
