LEO MESSI HAS already given us so many brilliant football memories that it almost seems greedy to want more.
(If you doubt that, phone your boss, book the next two to three weeks off work, and put “Messi highlights” into YouTube.)
Barcelona’s 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid last night was enough to give them a 3-2 win on aggregate and see them into the Copa del Rey final.
But the finale at the Camp Nou would surely have been a little less nervy had this Messi free with 13 minutes left been an inch or two lower.
The technique of the strike is superb — and again, if you doubt that, watch the final replay from behind Messi which shows the flight of the ball.
If you’re still not impressed, you might just be spoiled.

A lick of crossbar paint robbed us of a beautiful Messi free last night
