You can not explain things like this. Even Messi doesn't know how he did it. These things just happen. You can watch this goal from 10 different camera angles on Messi Msgic™.

[@henokabraham3684]

I disagree. Messi knew exactly what he was doing. He wanted to score the moment he got the ball from Alves. He created the goal that he only saw coming. Such perfection just doesn't happen out of thin air. It needs the footballing IQ of Messi.

messi 2 penalties 2 goals in barneleo and bags a HATTRICK HAHAHAHAHHAHA

[@eaxposed9094]

Portgas D. Ace Because he had teammates that scored penalties when he missed them in the CL final of 2008. Meanwhile Messi scored multiple times in penalty shoot-outs for Argentina, including the 2015 Copa America final. The difference is, he was the only one from Argentina that scored so they didn't win. Arturo Vidal missed aswell in the last final, but his teammates could score. Messi missed, but as I said if in the 2015 final he was the only one to score, how could you expect his teammates to score now when he also missed.

[@treshtalk88]

Lmao

[@user-co1gi7yd2r]

[@vasilisparaforos1390]

use meters ffs !!!

[@YUnitedFootball]

Vasilis Paraforos Stop whinging, in football/soccer they measure everything in yards. So this way it's more helpful to the average football fan.

[@vitorbernardo9789]

Tev "in football/soccer they measure everything in yards" Most people speak in the metric system and most countries. What the fuck are you talking about?

[@YUnitedFootball]

Vitor Bernardo This is football/soccer. In this sport everything is measured in yards not meters. Example: 'the 6 YARD box'. Do you understand now?

[@vitorbernardo9789]

That doesn't mean shit. Metric system is a much more comprehensive system. Plus, only in USA and maybe other Anglo countries or is called like that.

[@YUnitedFootball]

Vitor Bernardo Yes it clearly does since the video is about football and in football they use yards so therefore it makes perfect sense. I've never been to USA and where I'm from people always use yards. And when someone uses a different way of measuring we don't whinge like little bitches. Seriously why does it matter to you so much that these people use yards instead of meters?

Also the fact that he creates this chance from literally nothing, the play is in stop and he gets the ball in the middle, creates his own chance and scores.

[@mentalmxdric17]

Bro's goal was so good that even science had to explain how this happened..

[@aylin8663]

De otro mundo!!

[@JohnMcLeanbilldoesjudo]

This is great, but what they miss is that Messi's direction of foot movement also matters when shooting, not just the point of contact. The margin of error is not 1.5mm as they say, it is larger.

[@martidavid1519]

John McLean It's smaller

[@shishirba]

John McLean the more factors involved the smaller the margin of error

[@JohnMcLeanbilldoesjudo]

shishirba That is a statistical rule which is not always applicable to physics. In this case, the direction of foot movement combined with a point of contact which is actually a few inches wide (flexible ball - full of air) widens the margin of error. This isn't like snooker or pool, where the objects colliding are quite rigid.

[@shishirba]

John McLean the ball may be of air and flexible, but the direction of force applied (combined with where it is applied, hence what part of the ball you hitXwhich direction the force you hit with) will make a difference. if he hits the ball with everything the same except the first point of contact, the direction the ball goes in will inevitable change. so (im taking data as true) if he chenged the point og contact by 1.5mm the ball will end up 6 inches to the left/right after said distance (6 yards?)

[@JohnMcLeanbilldoesjudo]

shishirba Look, they are calculating it as though Messi's foot and the ball were rigid, spherical objects. Only one is spherical and neither are rigid, therefore the direction of Messi's foot will correct for error. Don't blame me, it's just physics.

[@melinarodriguez8395]

I'd like them to use the more rational and universal metric system for once... :/

[@orangsederhana1559]

Messi is unreal :v Go messi go

[@grantreggio6026]

Seeing this only makes what he did more unbelievable. You can certainly quantify brilliance (assuming that brilliance falls within the limits of physics), but that quantification ironically induces more awe than clarity.
