This might just be the smoothest step-overs i've ever seen. pic.twitter.com/GxHfTGRfMx

Wow, those are beautiful. Shame he didn't do more of them, but Messi is more about efficient touches, stepovers can be pretty effective but have an element of flash though.

[El Gunner]

a stepover is basically just a tactic to freeze your opponent, the next move is your dribble

What a call back. I remember seeing that stopover video so many years ago

Damn we're old now

I've never seen him doing that in a game tho iirc

[Myesyats]

Just came across this too, one of my fav messi moments

[Vibe]

Those look machine like, incredible.

I also don't remember seeing him do it in game, ever.
