"With his brace against Huesca on Sunday at Camp Nou, the only team in the division he had not scored against, the Argentine can now boast a full set of victims in LaLiga. Real Madrid’s Raúl González managed to score against 35 different clubs in the Spanish top flight but Messi went past that landmark figure last season and extended his record with his goals against the newly promoted side."

[Kebab]

Every record belongs to him in spain. From farting to scoring

Magia

GOAT

[Cruijf]

That pass for Rakitic's volley is out of this world. And people say his passing is one dimensional

[Kebab]

Not people. One idiot who watches football with one eye
His passes to the right flang is as good as the left

[Harmonica]

One dimensional? Never heard anybody say that lmao.

[Collblanc]

One dimensional? Never heard anybody say that lmao.

Really? You obvious dont read Redcafe or Bigsoccer. Many claim he only has "good" passes to the left (Alba).

[Harmonica]

I've one advice, if you hear someone say that, leave and never go back lmao.

[Myesyats]

He does have better passes to the left because he comes in from the right wing and is left footed. That's just logic and doesn't mean Messi is one dimensional, obviously he's the most all-round accomplished player to ever grace the field.

[Harmonica]

The one behind the wall.

[Valkyrja]

Freaking cheat code

[Myesyats]

That second goal was sublime, such a clean finish GK didnt even see coming

[Mamad]

Goat indeed. as i said before, who compares Ronaldo to Messi does not know anything about football.

Honorable performance from the 5th best player in the world

[Harmonica]

One of the best individual performances ever, did absolutely everything in the field.

Pochettino - "We didn't lose to a team called Barcelona, we lost to a man called Lionel Messi. And there is no shame in losing to such a Great Man."

[Valkyrja]

He's mastered the game of football tbh, dribbling is flawless be it from a standing position or at pace, weight of passes is like Xavi and Pirlo, short or long it doesn't matter and his finishing is out of this world, both from inside and outside the box on par if not better than the likes of Batistuta et al.

[guest7]

He improved his passing so much in his adult years

[El Gunner]

What I always found most astounding besides the invisible string tied between his left foot and the ball, is his little-to-no backlift when shooting. He wouldn't be as nearly accurate and efficient if it wasn't for that. Most of his goals aren't really out of this world rockets and Theirry Henry finesse curlers, but they simply and efficiently fizz of his feet into the back of the net, giving goalkeepers little chance to react to get to the ball. Magical genius.
GREATEST OF ALL TIME.

[Kebab]

His shooting accuracy must be 99 in FIFA. when he shoots its 99% on target.
Coutinho also is very accurate, probably most accurate after Messi in the last months, its always on target.

But there is a little difference. Messi shoots to score, he sees where the goalkeeper is and doesnt shoot straight at him even under pressure his goal is to score, i believe there is no thing called "pressure" for him. he is used to wrestle with 5 players and still be conscious, he runs 50m between many players and still wants to score it. he prefers to miss it rather than to shoot straight at goalkeeper.

Coutinho is just in love with shooting doesnt matter where it goes, if its on target its good. but i like how he never shoots it into the sky, he has amazing accuracy

[Lucifer]

All those goals and zero rapes, best in the world

[Harmonica]

Lionel Messi has scored more goals from outside the box than any other player in the top five European leagues in the last 10 seasons (57). Sniper.— OptaJose (@OptaJose) October 7, 2018
