That’s pretty impressive too. What gets me about the Messi goal though is how close he was to the goal and the angle at which he was running. It feels like I’ve seen a player hit that pullback first time in that position 1000 times and never seen a chip right down the middle like that.
Edit: I am a dolt. But the fact that Messi's was first time and Z's was not puts them in different categories.

Zinchenko’s was first time as well, no?

Messi has done this before.


At 3:20 he chipped the keeper in an extremely similar way. This one was also for his hat-trick!

The biggest difference between the two is that im 100% certain Messi meant to do it. Which may be the best description of Messi anyway, other people can only accidentally recreate things he does on purpose
