Watch: Lionel Messi's incredible trick shot leaves Twitter in awe
Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi is one of the greatest players to have graced the sport. Recently, the Argentine footballer posted a video on his Instagram account, showcasing his ability to hit the spot, with a left-footed shot. In a behind-the-scenes advertisement for Pepsi, Messi was seen performing an incredible trick shot, which left fans in awe of the Little Magician. Here's more.
Messi is seen performing an act with a football and a Pepsi bottle. He placed the bottle on top of a football and then fired in a perfect shot into a hoop. Interestingly, he generated enough back-spin on the ball which made the bottle flip a few times, and it landed on the floor exactly as placed on top of the ball.
Messi's brilliance has taken social media by storm. This comes a day after Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah showed his artistry. The Egyptian was also seen enacting a trick shot, when he hit a cola can placed on top of the hoop. Notably, this was a no-look shot, which has received more than 2.5 million views and counting.
