Messi Has Already Scored An Incredible Training Goal In 2017
Samuel Umtiti has only played half a season for Barcelona, so it's a shame he has to retire now.
Look at what Lionel Messi did to hin in training.
Never mind the double nutmeg at the end. The double nutmeg was cool, but not as cool as Messi causing a grown man, one of the best defenders in the world, to flop around like a fish out of water.
Watch This Young Stoic Masterfully Ignore Marcelo And Sergio Ramos
“It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, that is poor.” —Probably the young boy in this video.
Sandwiched between one-half of the usual defensive line of the FIFA FIFPro World XI, this burgeoning young stoic simply does not give a rat’s a**. With a supreme display of tranquility and passive tolerance, we’ve been given video evidence of nirvana.
Either this boy has achieved a perfect state of quietude, or, at heart, he’s such a Barcelona fan that he finds this whole charade sickening.

FIFA is supposed to take the reality of football, turn it up 10 notches and make it accessible for all. So, while you’re executing Roberto Carlos-esque free kicks with regularity, you know that, yes, the professionals might be able to pull this off, but not three times a match.
The FIFA Free Kick Skill Game requires you to expertly curl the ball around a wall of training dummies and into one of the four corners of the net. Again, it’s a skill that professional can pull off, but it’s not something you’d put money on them doing nine times out of ten.
The Astronomical Sums Behind China’s Attempt To Lure Cristiano Ronaldo
The exorbitant fees that the Chinese Super League has been willing to pay to land the world’s best look like peanuts compared to what one unnamed CSL club was willing to pay Real Madrid and Cristiano Ronaldo to bring the Ballon d’Or winner to East Asia.
Xavi Claims Catalonia Would Be A Top Team And LOOK AT THAT STARTING XI
Cataluña, la comunidad autónoma ubicada en el extremo este de España con Barcelona como su capital y su ciudad más grande, ha estado pidiendo su independencia desde la Guerra civil española. Con una autonomía cultural y política, además del uso prevalente del idioma catalán, seguido de eso la región tendría su propio equipo nacional de fútbol.

Barcelona Unearth More Video Of Lionel Messi As A Child Phenom
Almost every FC Barcelona YouTube video, given the talent at the club, is worth a view. However, every once in a very long while, they release a video starring Lionel Messi during his La Masia days. These are particularly important because they showcase the unreasonable talents of a goofy looking 14-year-old with control like Diego Maradona.
It's talent like this that saw Messi rapidly progress through the club's ranks, making his first team debut as a 16-year-old.
