Can we just take a moment to appreciate Lionel Messi's perfect free-kick for Argentina against USA back in 2016.
Messi converted arguably his greatest free-kick on the international stage, picking out the top corner with a gorgeous strike from distance.
He curled a 'reverse' hit into the top corner, showcasing his elite technique that had a fully-extended Brad Guzan scrambling in net.
Even the man himself knew he scored an outrageous goal, pulling a priceless expression as he wheeled away in celebration.
Messi's best free-kick of all-time? We reckon so and so do his adoring fans.
One Twitter user wrote: "Yes it is, arguably one of the best in history. Reverse ball to the top corner from that distance and angle...perfect technique and execution"
A second tweeted: "The distance and the angle, undoubtedly the best 100%."
A third added: "To score from that angle is something really impossible."
A fourth commented: "You can't hit a more accurate ball than that. He even couldn't believe it."
The sensational goal also brought up a special landmark as Messi's free-kick against USA saw him surpass Gabriel Batistuta as Argentina's all-time leading goal-scorer.
What a strike to create history.
