Lionel Messi is a god

A lot is made of the 53 goals Lionel Messi has scored this season for Barcelona, and rightfully so. But sometimes it's the things he does to set up his teammates that amaze me the most.

The quality of this video is the best I could find, but it's not good enough to keep up with how quickly his feet move when he splits a pair of Manchester United defenders in the box like he's playing in your local rec league. Then again, I don't know if they've created a level of HD yet that can keep up with Messi's feet.

Some say he needs to win a World Cup before he can be known as the best ever, I say bullshit. There is no higher level than the Champions League as far as competition goes, and he's won that multiple times. Sure, he has a lot of help on that Barcelona side, but on a team that features practically all of the World Cup winning Spanish team, he's clearly the best player.

We're watching the best player to ever play this game, and he's just now into his prime.
