Messi is the exception in football

I don’t know how to explain it to you, but Messi had been injured for two matches, and today he was sitting on the bench with his team tied in the first half.

He came on in the second half, not fit, and turned the game around 180 degrees, scoring a goal, setting up another with his backheel,

creating five chances in a single half, and securing victory for his team with his arm!

What’s truly amazing is the scene you see before you, a scene that has been repeated over the past 15 years and has become a Messi trademark. Messi,

under pressure and facing an entire defensive line, scores a goal that had a 4% chance of being scored.

But after the ball left Messi’s foot, the chance increased to 75%. He turns the impossible into something that seems possible!

What’s truly amazing is that Messi has scored 875 goals in his career, 170 of which have come from outside the penalty area (roughly 20%), and 101 of which have come from open play. Absolutely insane!

Messi has 25 goals left to reach 900 goals, 11 assists left to reach 400 assists,

and has 1300 goal contributions, an incredible number that tells you that Messi is the exception in football

He spots the field early and knows how the opponent is standing, where his teammates are standing and where the space is.

From the first touch, he knows where he will direct the ball and has a specific way ready.

Messi has everything ready before the ball reaches him.

A brilliant assist

The idea is that he’s been doing the same thing for years and it still goes in.

He tells the goalkeeper, “I’m going to shoot it there,” and it still goes in.The ball isn’t powerful, but it still goes in.

You don’t understand what’s happening, and what’s happening to the goalkeeper that makes him react after the ball passes him.

Those who remember Messi’s goal against Australia in the last World Cup?

The ball had no noticeable power, and it still passed and went into the goal.

It’s a time race that no one has been able to measure to this day.
