The Barcelona star may not have scored at the end of his defiant run into the Nigerian half at a friendly in Bangladesh, but his rebound shot did help Angel Di Maria score instead. After intercepting the ball at the half-line, Messi raced past five players to take a shot on goal.
The keeper got a hand out but couldn’t do enough to keep the ball. Instead, it fell kindly onto the path of Di Maria who was hardly going to miss from such close range. Only Messi has the uncanny ability to squeeze through defenders and make space to get a shot off.
Imagine how confused the player must have been trying to follow Messi’s footwork that he fell down without any incoming challenge.
