Messi is a freak. Plain and simple. He's capable of creating a chance out of literally nothing, and this video perfectly illustrates that sentiment.

Twitter user @Lionel10i has uploaded a clip of Messi nearly scoring some absolutes screamers, titled: "Imagine if Messi had scored these."

Sit back and enjoy:

Imagine if he had scored after that dazzling run against Espanyol from a few seasons ago.

Some of the comments on the video are brilliant including this superb line: "How does a comp of Messi misses look better than that of most players' goals?"

Meanwhile, the Barcelona skipper is enjoying another ultra-prolific campaign. He's bagged an absurd 43 goals in all competitions.

He's got 33 La Liga goals to his name and is miles ahead of his nearest competition.

The Argentina international has scored some absolute worldies including a few naughty free-kicks, and our audience believe he's the best free-kick taker of all time.
