Argentine footballer Lionel Messi who plays for Spanish club FC Barcelona has scored a whole lot of mesmerising goals. And right up there with the best of the lot was his recent strike against Athletic Bilbao in the Copa Del Rey final. He scored two in that match, but the first one came at the end of a 60-yard mazy dribble which deserves to be replayed over and over again.

With precision of 1.5mm, a margin of error about the width of a grass. He going from virtually 0 to 19.2 MPH in just 2.73 seconds that’s an accelaration at par with an American football speedster Jamaal Charles and Messi does it with ball at his feet.
