Messi Vaporizes a Wall During a Free Kick for a Peach of a Goal

This kind of magic from Messi surprises no one at this point.

It took a bit of time but @TeamMessi breaks through for @FCBarcelona with a beauty. 1-0. #LaLiga https://t.co/vuKuG6oRQJ

Oh, sweet Leo. You deliver us so, so many joys. And the beauty of it all is that we're not even all that surprised when shit like this goes down anymore.

Just steep yourself in the sweet majesty of this free kick. Witness its strike and dip. It is like a geological formation. Preexistent, determinative—something we expect and rely on. Messi, you are the rock upon which we stand. Unfaltering. Never die. Never grow old.

UPDATE:

It turns out there are other players on Barcelona besides Messi, Neymar, and Suarez. Someone named Ivan Rakitic can apparently score mind-blowing rockets like this one:

ABSOLUTE ROCKET by @ivanrakitic. 2-0 @FCBarcelona. #LaLiga https://t.co/YooEFgLBQ6

Rocket, Rakitic. You get it.
