Just because a normal Crossbar Challenge is not hard enough, the Barcelona star kicks things up a notch by attempting to hit the woodwork from a seemingly impossible angle
Another day, another outrageous piece of skill from Lionel Messi. Not to be outdone by a boring, run-of-the-mill 'Crossbar Challenge', the Argentine takes things to the next level like only he can. Seen strolling nonchalantly towards the corner flag, Messi places the ball, takes a few steps back, looks at the crossbar in the distance and... you can guess what happens next. "I hit the crossbar from the corner flag on my first attempt," Messi writes, boasting, on his official Facebook page. He then asks us lot to give it a go as well. Yeah, nice try, Leo.
"Pfft... Piece. Of. Cake."
