This Lionel Messi goal is so ridiculous you’d swear it’s fake

We’re used to seeing Lionel Messi do ludicrous things, but this goal seems to defy the laws of physics. If this was anyone but Messi it would be easy to write it off as a fake, or altered footage -- but it’s not.

Messi takes a shot from behind the goal and it spins a good two feet on the bounce and directly into the net. Goals have been scored off corners with spin, but nothing quite like this.
