Messi springs a magic moment

Lionel Messi producing a moment of magic is not something new for most football fans, but supporters are split on whether he really did pull off his latest stunt according to the Daily Mail.

The Barcelona captain uploaded a behind- thescenes video to his Instagram page as he filmed an advert with one of his brand endorsements.

He places a half- empty bottle on top of a football before chipping the ball through a nearby hoop, watching the drink rotate in the air before landing flat on the floor.

Messi sees the bottle land perfectly still on the floor before turning to the camera and smiling as he walks away.

For some, it was merely yet another sign that he is the Greatest of All Time ( GOAT).
