Artwork on Messi destroying Betis from 6 years ago is made a reality by himself!

A painter called Suhas Nahian painted an artwork of Lionel Messi taking on Real Betis defenders six years ago, and it happened yesterday exactly like what he drew.

Suhas Nahian took to Instagram and Facebook to express his delight as Messi helped Barcelona beat Betis 4-1 and made his painting come to life like reality.

"I painted something 6 years ago, and footballing gods made the image come true last night! ❤" wrote Nahian on Facebook.

And there is proof that the artwork was indeed published in 2013, as football-related page Plaantik posted that painting on Twitter in 2013.

Football world salutes the 31-year-old Argentinian star following his hat-trick against Betis as he moved ahead of Barcelona legend Xavi to set a new club record for participating in 477 games won.

All of his goals are brilliant efforts, with the first goal being a stunning direct free kick before adding a second when he received a sensational backheel assist from Luis Suarez.

Messi capped off his record-breaking day with arguably one of the goals of the season when he tried an outrageous chip just inside the penalty area and beat Lopez.

Barcelona go ten points clear on the summit of the La Liga table and are on course to win the title for the second season in a row.
