Last Saturday against Atletico Madrid, Lionel Messi lit up the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano with a moment of magic, arguably the best piece of skill in his career.
Pinned to the touchline with his back to goal, the ball arrived at Messi in the air but was impossible to control so the Argentine jumped up and headed it high into the sky.
By the time the ball finally came down to land, Messi had used his body to hold off Filipe Luis and then produced one of the most remarkable pieces of skill you will ever see.
In one fell swoop, the Barcelona star was able to simultaneously control and caress the ball with the outside of his boot in between the legs of Atletico's left-back and elegantly pirouette in the process.

He does everything with the ball that why he's different but his greatest opponent only scores goals which doesn't make him to qualify to be Messi's opponent. Messi is not living on the planet earth. I'm a man.united fun but I'm one of the few united funs who accept that Messi is better than good.
