This goal gives me El Clásico vibes.
so are they winning the Copa again? lol CR fans are going to be in hell if Messi is again called for BDO after he won his 8th
Was that a dummy from Julian? What a baller.
yes for sure you can see he pulls out of the shot and protects the ball so it gets to the goat
Get my starboy on the pitch
today has been such a shit day for the whole world i have been begging for a reason to smile. thank you leo
JAJAJ QUE MENOS MAL QUE SOY ARGENTINA LOCO
The commentator really had the orgasm of his life damn
Did he ask the other player to leave the ball for him or that player missed the shot?
Proper faint. It's possible he called it and Alvarez heard.
Hat trick loading for Lord GOAT
actually got chills watching that live
He still needs one more goal contribution to equal Soteldo's night. We'll see who's the GOAT then
Messi has scored this goal with that exact shot from that same spot so many times and it’s just as good every time
It’s automatic
don't spoil our cheat code.
Seriously, how is every keeper still late to make the save, did he ever shoot it into the other corner from that position?
Didn’t his first goal in this game end with him finishing into the far top corner, from a similar build up??
Go watch Onana and you'll soon get an answer to why keepers shouldn't be doing what you're suggesting
Do you know how wide a football goal is? :D
With that speed and precision he would have to move beforehand, which would leave the other side completely open and would look beyond stupid since Messi of course can shoot to the other side too (which he often did).
Its not that Messi and Robben and others always do the same move and every opposition is dumb for not defending. Its the precision and speed that makes it undefendable.
also the goalkeepers weight is usually on his left foot as he is naturally moving towards that direction as the play comes from wide to central. really clever by messi and really hard to get a good sharp dive to your right side.
yessss, thats very important. Great analysis! Same reason why they teach you to head against the direction the goalie is coming from. You catch them on the wrong foot, meaning they have to take an extra step
This one was incredibly difficult to react to. It looked like the first guy would shoot (can’t see who it is in this clip), then it looked like Alvarez would shoot but he left it with a dummy, then Messi pulls the trigger in a split second from a position right next to Alvarez. No chance for the keeper to read that play.
I saw your comment and immediately knew the style of goal
I just saw the top comment and the world same , I knew which kind of goal it would be. No matter who the player assisting, Messi scores
Thanks , saved me a click!
I just discovered that Argentina is playing atm. Thought let me check r/soccer if there's maybe a Messi goal and there's 2. Classic.
Saw one a few minutes ago and was not surprised he popped up again, unbelievable player
this mf dont miss
Perdón Perú, somos inevitables
I clicked on Peru vs Argentina a few hours ago and it had a Messi hattrick. I went to look at highlights but there were none, because it hadnt started??? Now he just needs one more goal for the Hatty. Did i accidentally see the leaked script before it started.
Old Messi is still scoring but younger Neymar got hurt again.
He could easily still play in europe
It's smart to leave with some gas in the tank rather than being completely exhausted. Ronaldo faced something similar in 2022. Fast forward to 2023, and he got back in the shape. It is wise to reduce intemsity with age.
Good awareness from Julian. Although what likely happened is he definitely pump faked with the intention of turning and shooting but as he was mid turn, Messi yelled "Que miras bobo ?" and took the ball from Julian.
celebrating the Ballon d'or in style
Scaloni took advantage of halftime to go to the civil registry and put that playful tail in his name
the assist was great too
Im changing my last name to Messi and naming my future son Lionel
Number 10, Can you do something for me
Yea Messi is great and all but did Enzo just make a run off the last man?!?! 🤣
Could you imagine Mbappe doing this for a teammate? Just the thought of it made me lol.
Props to Julian Alvarez. Football is beautiful because of unselfish players like him. At least for me.
Screw a loan back to Europe, If a 4 months break due to MLS offseason is what he needs so he can stay fresh then so be it. I’m trynna watch this guy forever lol
He saw that Ronaldo is top goalscorer didn't he?
THE ABSOLUTE FUCKING GOAT!
That's classic Messi goal
Dude's a fucking walking cheat code
I’m convinced he sold his soul to the devil to be the worlds best footballer ever.
The catch is he always has to play or he will die.
Why else is he bothering going to MLS or playing fucking Peru when he’s won the World Cup and should let the next gen get playing minutes.
