Seriously, how is every keeper still late to make the save, did he ever shoot it into the other corner from that position?
This one was incredibly difficult to react to. It looked like the first guy would shoot (can’t see who it is in this clip), then it looked like Alvarez would shoot but he left it with a dummy, then Messi pulls the trigger in a split second from a position right next to Alvarez. No chance for the keeper to read that play.
Do you know how wide a football goal is? :D
With that speed and precision he would have to move beforehand, which would leave the other side completely open and would look beyond stupid since Messi of course can shoot to the other side too (which he often did).
Its not that Messi and Robben and others always do the same move and every opposition is dumb for not defending. Its the precision and speed that makes it undefendable.
also the goalkeepers weight is usually on his left foot as he is naturally moving towards that direction as the play comes from wide to central. really clever by messi and really hard to get a good sharp dive to your right side.
