Lionel Messi is not just a player but a worldwide phenomenon. The things he does with a ball are often unimaginable to the best of the best in the footballing world.
And, the magician brought brought out a special one from his bag of tricks at Nou Camp against Espanyol on Sunday night, as he ran circles around the defenders before attempting a shot which was saved, but Suarez pounced on the opportunity to score.
The run was hailed all over social media, as Barcelona fans and neutrals alike gathered over Twitter to rave about Messi’s crazy solo run.
