Lionel Messi - The Best Footballer In The World

The first of what will be a running series on the best player in the world, Leo Messi, leading up to next weeks Champions League Final.

This goal is breathtaking. Yes, he had acres of space thanks to the dodgy Mexican defence, but still... to decide upon that type of unorthodox finish, and actually execute it as perfectly as he did is nothing short of genius. He's an artist.

A magical moment that reminds me just why football, as the worlds most artistic and expressive game, is the love of my life (after my wife and son of course).

I apologise in advance for the two crap commentators in advance...
