Messi, am I right?
There’s not much more that can be written about Messi – the master of Camp Nou, the perpetual schoolboy, the human sand-timer slowly running out. At his best, there seems nothing he cannot do on the football pitch, yet people continue to question his status as the GOAT.
The latest controversy involving the Barcelona star involves a viral video filmed for Adidas. In the video, he does a few keepie-uppies, before casually the ball from one side of the pitch to the other and straight through a reporter’s legs.

It’s yet another example of Lionel’s mesmerising talents. And, on the whole, the clip has received the reaction it deserves on social media.
However, a few have claimed it is simply the work of clever editing rather than, y’know, the greatest footballer of his generation doing what he does.
Well, he only need good team to edit the clip.
Not to hate Messi here, but you must understand that this is just a promo for Adidas and fake. Edited.

Its a fake video because when Messi juggles the ball there is shadow of the ball. So Messi fans don't get too exited.

But this has to be fake…why?
•The ball lost its shadow.

Given what he has achieved on the football pitch, I think it’s fair enough to trust.
