Was Messi’s crazy play amazing ball-handling, or showboating at its worst? See for yourself

Lionel Messi has amazed fans with his ball handling skills for over 18 years. But he still finds ways to open eyes.

During the second half of Wednesday’s game against Real Salt Lake, Messi maneuvered the ball near his opponent’s goal. Real Salt Lake player Andrew Brody was lying on his back holding his wrist was in Messi’s path. It didn’t matter. Messi rolled the ball over his chest and ran around him quickly to pick his dribble back up and fire a shot that was blocked by a defender.

Footage of the play quickly went viral moments later.

Fans worldwide were divided on whether it was showboating or just another reason to prove that Messi is in fact the greatest of all time.
