"That’s what it is to watch Messi throughout a game. He will be surrounded, completely blocked off, the play will seem ordinary, the action stopped, and your body reflexively relaxes. Nothing to see here. Only then suddenly, you realize that Messi is still going, still has the ball in control, is still heading toward the goal, and then he will get off a pass to someone open or get off a shot off that must have gone under someone’s legs or under their elbow or something. He does this absurd kind of thing multiple times in the game. And nobody else really does, not quite like him."
