9 dribbles bro Messi is a beast
The whole English team completed just 7 all together 16 players 😭😭😭😭
England created only one big chance
Messi created 2😭😭
He’s too much for them John Terry and Joe Cole lmaoo useless guys 😭
Let’s just say though: you can park whatever bus you want, the number of unbelievable passes and crosses that Messi was playing to force the win… He is still the best creator in the world at 39 years old. Which is absolutely ridiculous.
