THIS SEASON’S MESSI MASTERCLASS

Okay few people would not argue this fact that Lionel Messi is  probably one of the greatest players of all time if not the best. I feel privileged to have been alive to witness this unbelievable player. He does things ,most football players would  only dream of doing.It’s incredible how he comes up with something new every game ; be it dribbles ,assists or even breathtaking  free kicks.He’s just out of this world.Watching him play in the Uefa Champions League knockout stages,has been just awesome.When Barcelona were playing against Manchester city, it was like training practice for him! He was owning each Man-city player that came his way .I vividly remember his nutmeg against James Miller; when  Pep Guardiola (his former coach)  saw it  and held his head with amazement(What!!! how did he do that ?).

Messi’s Nutmeg to James Millner …………..and Pep Guardiola’s Reaction!!!

If that was brilliant, for those who watched the Champions League match between the iconic FC Barcelona vs  impossible Bayern Munich,he was simply on another level.The game was evenly matched for almost an hour ,until Messi exploded from the right wing like a loose canon and fired a shot past the keeper as the first goal. I was simply blown away! I mean,” how did he manage to score with the limited space was given ? “for his second goal, i was over the moon when  it went in ,because he nutmeged Jerome Boateng leaving him a victim to the cruel force of gravity and chipped the ball past the magnificent Manuel Neur (Bayern’s goalie). I immediately  texted my pals in whatapp like “Did you see that ”

Boateng left to the ground by a quick Messi Dribble    

And finally finishing it off with an incredible Lob past Manuel Neuer

Now my favorite Messi match is the one FC Barcelona played recently against Athletic Bilbao . In the first half ,he got the ball around the half way-line and dribbled past five defenders leaving them helpless almost wetting their pants and fired low into the right corner .My eyes almost literally pooped out as i replayed the goal close to five times….Few words could describe Messi’s extraordinary talent in football.Truly, he’s a legend!

The season came to an amazing finish last week with Barcelona’s treble win and Messi behind all that success.Hope to  see the little magician at work next season!!!!
