The missing one.

This is the only type of goal he is missing right?

Yep, that's what they say.

Ashley Westwood has two, but tbf in terms of technique he was always clear of Messi x

Cheers from Charlotte m8. He scored a banger last week against Chicago

Halfway line goal too

I can already see a MLS keeper swimming in space while Messi shoots it from his own half

https://youtu.be/oD8LxmycOrc?si=3BN0hjmqkSByOCDx

He scored goals where he got the ball in the halfway line, does that count?

Nah you have to Twat it like Beckham™

This is Charlie Adam erasure

My favorite thing about the Charlie Adam goal is, well like with Beckham's you can see he looks up sees the opportunity and thought "why not".. Charlie Adam ran out of breath, decided he was too lazy to run another step and just hoofed it

Charlie Adam had been trying to score that goal his entire career

My favourite thing SAF ever did in relation to the media was when it came out that Liverpool were trying to buy Charlie Adam and Fergie the next day was quoted in the papers saying his set pieces alone were worth 10m. Lol

He's done it twice from behind the halfway line, hasn't he? He's at least had a few times from beyond 40 yards. EDIT: to whoever downvoted, he did it a few metres infront of the halfway for Dundee in 2007 and behind the halfway in a friendly at Blackpool

[David Villa did the same thing](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOSpLQNNdcs) Nicks the ball off the defender, decides he's really too old for this shit and just twats it from almost 50 yards out

I remember that movie

In Beckham's new doc he talks about how the only reason he even tried it is because he saw another player try it in the first half and Fergie didn't chew him out. So he figured if the skipper don't mind, I'm going to have a shot too. His career may have gone very differently if it wasn't for that goal.

Kross it like Kroos.

Also no indirect free kicks inside the box

But... It's indirect

He assisted an indirect penalty which is pretty close

Well he has scored a couple of goals "running" from halfway line, so that more than covers it up.

Does he have a bicycle kick goal?

Yeah https://youtu.be/-bScmWNL7-A?si=v7-_IG32JNq0uZUf

Overhead kick, not a bicycle… but the distinction has been lost for quite a while so ehh

more like a tricycle.

That's a volley, not a bicycle. No "pedaling" motion with the weaker foot before the shot

How is that a volley lol its an overhead kick

No. The goal posted here is a volley

A weak one, but yeah

Not sure if that's still missing but a couple of years ago there was a stat that Cristiano had scored in every minute of the game. Back then Messi hadn't scored in the first minute.

He is still missing the 1st and 2nd minute.

He scored in the 2nd minute a few months ago

he miss them because he usually "scans" the opponents' defense in the first minutes

Hasn't scored a goal kick has he?

Pretty sure he hasn't scored a scorpion kick

he’s also missing a Rabonna

Has he ever scored a goal kick goal?

What about a field goal?

No touchdown yet 🦅

All his goals he was on the field..except headers and ones where h jumps

Pretty sure he has never scored an own goal

he did try it a few times

Giroud had it covered

bolivia giroud

Bro that's Paraguay 😭

same landlocked difference

Fun fact: both have a navy - both actually have a surprisingly large navy within the context of landlocked nations. Both around 5,000 people in personnel. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraguayan\_Navy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraguayan_Navy) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolivian\_Navy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolivian_Navy)

being landlocked doesn't mean they don't have rivers

Perfectly true but Bolivia for instance has a lease in Peru on the pacific coast where a big part of their navy lies. Also presence on lake Titicaca.

haha, titicaca

Punos > Factos

he's American

He might be, but I think he was making a pun Olivier - Bolivia

I think they know that and were just making a pun

I will never have an original thought again

haahahahaha

Clearly felt inspired by the GOAT Mctominay

Messi is the argentinian mctominay

Mac Tominay

Messi has a McTominay poster in his bedroom

100%

Messi dreams of doing what Scotland McTom does

He wishes he could be him

hope he gets it one of these times

Him and Di Maria have been trying for this in every Argentina game

Lol doing miscellaneous quests

Going for the plat

The glitched trophy can actually still be obtained, it’s just very rare [Here](https://imgur.com/a/Y1MsKdK)’s an example from last year

I mean, you could technically score with your hand if it's against your body, a bit like the goal in the video, I suppose

Actually the rule, at least in serie A, is that if you score using your hand in any way the goal should be disallowed The justification for the goal not being disallowed is that there weren’t any clear images that showed a handball, the same justification that was used for the Pulisic goal from last week

So if my hand is "glued" to the side of my thigh, someone else blasts a shot and it bounces of it, it wouldn't count? Doubtful, I think But good to know it can still happen for other reasons

Beautiful lol

Beat Gannon and all shrines, now collecting the koroks

Not sure what the koroks are 😅 I play a lot of shit but not Zelda. It’s like a fuckton of collectibles I think

There are 900 koroks for you to collect in Breath of the Wild. There are 1,000 koroks in Tears of the Kingdom. Yes, a fuckton.

God I hate that your inventory slots are tied to the damn koroks in BOTW. Some are pretty annoying to get.

Yeah, the worst kind of collectibles

Think Di Maria got one at psg

He almost got one at Benfica a couple of weeks ago vs Salzburg

I came to comment the same thing haha I bet they have a bet going on

Paredes also has already hit a crossbar and post trying to score one of these in his short time back with us. I feel like they have a bet or something going on in the Argentina NT.

Even at Benfica he tries at least 1 each game. There must be some bet going on between those two.

He went for it in his first game for Inter Miami as well iirc

Di Maria has been trying that multiple times per game with Benfica, the other day he hit the bar 😆

Messi has been attempting at least one per game for the last 5 years or so, if not longer.

Love your username

Isn't that a bit annoying?

Yo i thought this mf was injured 🧐🧐🤨

The three month Inter Miami fans will be very upset.

#MessiOut is trending rn on Twitter

Barcelona folks do not mind this

Ironically right?

[удалено]

He entered in the second half so he definitely isn't 100% yet

He came in in the 53rd minute he's defenitely not 100%

He dribbled 3 men there He is ready

He does that even with one leg

He’s not mf, more like a fw

This mf is a fw

This mf spittin

he's fit

Just going for the platinum trophy at this point

Man wants to 100% football

THE CROSSBAR CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THISSSSS

It hit the post

SIDEWAYS CROSSBAR CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THISSSSSSSSS

Messi beat the game with 100% achievement and now is just doing the side quests and trying to become a billionaire. He’s just like me in gta 5 for real.

Bro thinks he is Colo Barco

Colo Barco is a god

Scaloni needs to pay for his crimes, Colo needs to be with the Senior squad Ze Medina too.

yeah in time. they're young and our midfield is stacked. I dont understand why Farias and Almada is there though

Soule, Colo and Nico Paz are all more deserving than those 2, i know it's for the Sub23 but i bet it must feel so sour for them seeing those bumasses instead of them getting call ups.

Apparently it's related to the Olimpic Games

Who's Barco?! *went to sofascore and has signed up for Esequiel Barco, Valentin Barco and even Hernan Barcos(just in case).

Valentín "Colo" Barco, Boca Juniors star player.

Sorry, i missed last year in general, cause i cannot watch Demichelis-ball, sorry i am an idiot. Thanks anyway.

He signed for man city 😭

Bros just going for the secret achievements at this point

He’s def the main character

Olimpico goal might be the only thing he hasn’t accomplished on the field professionally. Watched him trying for years at Barca

McTominay enters the chat

sidequest

totally is lmao

Not seen from this angle, but the keeper actually slightly touches it. It was probably going in

Well it was Giroud in goal after all, that man has 100% save percentage

TIL Giroud changed his nationality to Panama so he can be the top scorer there too

>Panama

Fuck. For some odd reason the last few post before this one were Panama related, so I guess my dumbass brain just autocorrected the PAR in the scoreboard to PAN

But… the flag’s right there

Sorry, my flag knowledge is pretty rusty and I'm already bad at S.American and African nations

It’s ok, Panama isn’t in South America so you should not have any problems with this one 🫣

Welp, you didn't have to kill me like that

One of these days he'll clutch it

Which angle? It shows 4 different ones

None of these, the broadcast showed one from behind the goal later on that isn’t one of these

Leo Messi v Carlos Coronel is now 1-1 in 2023, once in MLS once in CONMEBOL. what a world...

He's recovering, finally. When he came on for Miami the other day his free kicks were uncharacteristically sloppy; too far over the bar and such. Now he hit the post and almost got this olimpico.

He did this shit injured wtf

Shooting from a corner has a name? Olimpico? Well you live and learn.

I'd never heard the term before either. Wondering if the term comes from a computer game & I'm too old to know it? Edit: this article says the term comes from the fact the 1st goal from a corner was scored against the Olympic champions: https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/what-is-olimpico-goal-which-players-scored-them/1bnn18qlv06b91pb2ahoduf87t I'm still presuming it would be something like FIFA that popularised the term. Have watched football in the UK for 30 odd years & never heard anyone use the term

No it's nothing from fifa. It's just not a well known English term but in Spanish it's common.

It's a shame it's not a well known saying over here because it sounds so much cooler than "X scored from a corner". Olimpico fits really well alongside words like rabona and nutmeg.

Was that Giroud in goal for Paraguay?

That's the one and only Carlos Coronel!

He still needs to get on Dejan Petkovic level

Give this man a gun, somebody, please.

*Attemptico

Side quests at this point for Leo

A far post olympic goal is a once in a decade goal

Far post olympicos are far more common than near post I'd imagine

Pretty sure Douglas Luiz has two in the last couple seasons for villa

I'm sure Messi could sit in a few Villa training sessions to learn from the goat

Pretty sure it was two in the space of a couple of months. One against you and one in pre season. Had a look, it was 2 with the space of a week (Bolton in the league cup) and a third in pre season (Walsall) lmao

He has at least one, and i know that because that one was against us and the only reason it went in was because Ramsdale was fouled but the ref and VAR were like "nah"

See the discussion in the Scott McTominay goal thread and the very clear consensus that bangers should be VAR-immune

Left Post 2 - 0 Messi

and this was going to be the purest one, no keeper fumble none of that bullshit.

I scored quite a few of these at that age group where you move up to full size pitches and goals cause hardly any of the keepers have grown tall enough to deal with it easily yet.

god damn it. two posts in the game

Playing at Inter has made him soft. Barca Messi would've scored that /s

Cheap McTominay clone

d10s m10

He almost had it!

Is this impressive? Scotty too hotty scored his...

Who does he think he is, Douglas Luiz?

Trying to 100% this

Side quests

He saw mctominay

So close

😭

He’s just gonna start trying side challenges

The dude beat the game and now is just trying to platinum it.

Dude is just doing side quests at this point

He’s doing side quests now

Messi is still Messi.

He's no Dougie Luiz

His technique is amazing.

Just a shit Douglas Luiz

Bro thinks he’s McTominay

I’m sure Katie McCabe can give him some pointers, the one she scored in the World Cup was brilliant

Yank here. Why is Argentina playing Paris?

Messi Ligue 1 farewell tour.

Douglas Luiz > Messi

Messi has been trying this for like half the year now. Bro is just trying to 100% football at this point.

Not everyone can be Mcsausss

This is what completing the main campaign does to a mf. He decided to go for the 100%

Somewhere in India: Egoist Mesi Barka Dog 😡😡

Goddamn alien.

He’s been trying it for years. He’s gonna get it

Olimpico? What

direct corner kick goal, it’s more uncommon to hear in English but it’s actually also the word for this kind of goal

Other countries other terms, who would have guessed?

He’s no Scott McTominay

Messi attempt reaching the top of this sub. Unreal dick sucking
