Lionel Messi Is Impossible

 

 

 

 

 

I arrived at a conclusion that I wasn’t really expecting or prepared for: Lionel Messi is impossible.

 

It’s not possible to shoot more efficiently from outside the penalty area than many players shoot inside it. It’s not possible to lead the world in weak-kick goals and long-range goals. It’s not possible to score on unassisted plays as well as the best players in the world score on assisted ones. It’s not possible to lead the world’s forwards both in taking on defenders and in dishing the ball to others. And it’s certainly not possible to do most of these things by insanely wide margins.

 

But Messi does all of this and more.
