That’s the problem with trying to copy Lionel Messi – whoever you are, he’s better than you.
Zimbabwean striker Rodreck Mutuma found out the hard way when he tried to copy Messi’s pass penalty against Celta Vigo.
Messi’s Barcelona team-mate Gerard Pique had already tried and failed, so Mutuma ought to have known it was no surefire hit.
We wonder what gave away his plans. Perhaps the not-so-subtle turn to look at his Dynamos Harare team-mate?
Next time we imagine he will stop messing about and just shoot.
