When Lionel Messi Casually Nutmegged A Reporter From 50-Yards

The moment Lionel Messi casually nutmegged a reporter from 50-yards out is still absolutely priceless.

Messi's ability to nutmeg someone is incomparable. As the phrase goes, he could nutmeg a mermaid.

He's often embarrassing defenders on the pitch and when he's not playing, the Barcelona legend still humiliates people.

Case in point, when he nutmegged a reporter during an Adidas advert.

They dropped a jaw-dropping promo back in 2018, titled 'Wait for it #Here to Create'.

In the video, Messi nonchalantly leathers ball the width of the pitch to nutmeg a poor reporter, who looks back quizzically after realising the ball has just gone through his legs.

One of Messi's nutmeg victims James Milner, who was left red-faced by the little magician during a Champions League clash, recalled the time he got megged.

Speaking about his ultimate XI, he said: "Messi has to be in there.

"I've played against him a few of times in the Champions League and most people probably remember the nutmeg on myself.

"I won't be the first and I won't be the last who got megged by him."

All hail the nutmeg king.
