Every time Lionel Messi’s teammates step out onto the pitch, they must be thankful that the Argentine wizard is wearing the Blaugrana shirt. In this video from the official FC Barcelona YouTube page, Messi can be seen humiliating some of Barcelona’s biggest stars during training.
It’s a fascinating thought, the idea of Messi tearing down on the likes of Gerard Pique, Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Javier Mascherano in colors other than those of Barcelona. How would the 24-time La Liga champions be able to cope with the 4-time world player of the year? The answer is, unsurprisingly, not well.
Here’s Messi coming up against 20-odd world-class players and looking like he’s playing against amateurs. His brilliance is simply otherworldly.
Messi trains just like he plays: he's unstoppable.
