Lionel Messi VS Athletic

Messi hits a first-time lob from the edge of the box at pace and it floats perfectly into the top corner.

Messi, 30 yards from goal, plays a concise one-two with Xavi and then another with Pedro in the tightest of spaces, then slides his shot into the corner.

With a defender clinging to his back, Messi is able to shake free and bear down on goal, and while faced with four defenders he shifts to his left and arrows a shot past all of them and into the corner.

Messi exchanges passes with Ousmane Dembele and homes in on goal, and with at least four PSV defenders between him and goal, he somehow manufactures a space to squeeze the ball into the net.

Messi has the ball forty yards out, skips to the right, skips to the left, runs through two defenders and arrows his left-footed shot into the corner.

Messi combines with Pedro for two separate one-twos before dinking his effort into the net from a very tight angle.

Messi is 35 yards from goal and exchanges passes with Andres Iniesta, who backheels brilliantly into his path for the Argentine to crack a blistering shot into the roof of the net.

Xavi flips the ball over the top of the defence and Messi collects on his chest, dummies the goalkeeper, and is able to slot the ball home with barely touching the ball.
