Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois’s face said it all after Messi’s cheeky free kick went in on for a goal. Sure, the Argentine took advantage of one of Courtois’s dumb moments, but that doesn’t disqualify the sheer insanity of the shot. The angle was impossible but the ball still went in. Wonder what you have to do with your foot to make a ball curl like that!
This particular set piece proves the genius of Lionel Messi simply because it defies all rationalization. Even if the Belgian keeper had been prepared, he had no chance of keeping this one out.
