Lionel Messi ● 10 Virtually Impossible Assists ► Not Even Possible on PlayStation

Two against four, but one of them is Messi. Gets around, Meneles tucks it in! Flips it by Di Maria! A masterpiece from Messi! Genius! That's the only word you can use. Because the pass is perfection. He actually puts negative spin on the ball and it pulls him off the grass. And he could have put it on an absolute goalkeeper. Here comes Leo Messi! Still Leo Messi! Puts it through to Pedro! Barcelona one up! And it's all thanks to Leo Messi. What a run it was. He saw the space in front of him. He knew exactly what he was going to do. And he left Pedro absolutely, completely alone at the back post. Here's Messi. Space on this near side for Iniesta. Just for a moment Sampdoria were under pressure there. Messi! Suarez! Barcelona leads! And Luis Suarez is all smiles. Well that's what they came to see. No Neymar tonight. But Messi made it. And Suarez scored it. Here's Messi. Messi in the middle. Here's Messi! Messi! What a save! What a save on Messi! What a start! And a goal in the 4th minute. When Messi hits, when Messi moves, he hits the crossbar in the middle of the defence. It was explosive and clinical for Argentina. Messi here has robbed Mikel. Messi. Holds off 3-4 players. Lead on Messi for Argentina. Great save! But the follow-up is tapped in. And it's 2-2. It's Di Maria this time I think. Messi here was simply unstoppable. Too hot to handle. Glides free of 3-4 defenders. Anoukbe's save but Di Maria's tap-in. 2-0. He makes it again. It's Messi. And punished there. Look at that. Four defenders. Couldn't stop him. Goalkeeper did, but not for long. Messi. There goes the free kick. Great ball. It's covered by Agüero. The ball was given to him by the free kick. Ladies and gentlemen, Argentina. Argentina is beating Albania 3-0. An extraordinary pass from Messi. Messi scored. Yes, he scored. God, God, God. Only he can score. Super. Magic again. Messi threw four. Brilliant. Threads it in. Absolutely genius by Lionel Messi. And it's been ruled offside. The service doesn't get any better from Mercedes-Benz. Absolutely phenomenal. Messi. Again, the run of Higuain is wonderful. The run dictates the pass. And take a look at this split millimeter perfection from Lionel. How does he see this? Look at that run. Messi can't help it. Look at this. Dancing through. And then he's still running at and pulls out this incredible pass. And what a kiss home. Lays it on the silver. And Gonzalo literally kisses it home with his big right foot. And wonderful run. And what about Messi with that incredible peel away from two defenders to get that space and then the acceleration away from those two players. And then on the run to pick a diamond pass out like that, Phil. That's why he's the greatest footballer player on planet Earth. I've been saying it for so long. It's his greatest underrated attribute. His passing. They talk about the statistics of his goal scoring at the international level and the club level for his Barcelona. But his passes are out of the book of genius. And it undervalues him.
