Lionel Messi's greatest skill? Barcelona legend's mind-boggling nutmeg on Filipe Luis in 2018

Lionel Messi has done some extraordinary things during his career.

He has been and still is a real joy to watch. Nearly every time he steps on a football pitch, he does something which makes you think ‘wow, how on earth did he do that?’
