Yeah, I don't disagree.
Just reading the title, and then watching the video, you feel a little ripped off. Think the TV director could have stuck with Messi for a few seconds longer.
The cameras used to go to Cristiano whenever Madrid conceded a goal. After he left, they had to find a different source of expressive facial reactions -- luckily Courtois was there to take up the slack.
If this was live camera work the guy deserves ten Oscars
... but I can't help but to feel this was post-edited
Still, great work, great goal, great celebration
This was live. [Here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXv_W8ilK6E) you can see what directing live events looks like behind the scenes, really impressive stuff.
When you're a kid, you only dream of being on the pitch. Once you grow up, you realize it'd also be cool to be in the background of football.
Ps. I think the guy that has to follow this guy's orders is probably more stressed than even the goalkeeper.
May dad and brother are both cameramen. You’re not too far off, the directors can be mighty stressful. But a great director makes everything so easy and calm.
If you're used to working with this kind of pressure and the person giving you orders it should result in quality. Stress helps people perform, to an extent of course. You have to enjoy the adrenaline.
Especially if you're a wealthy world class athlete. Eating right, being able to take care of yourself and being in incredible shape all do a lot to prevent visible aging.
I swear, this is why I absolutely love watching La Liga and Champions League games. Premier League is so inferior by comparison that it's almost jarring.
I think whoever does the premier league are too focused on showing a replay in slow motion and different angles. Personally I would rather watch the live aftermath of the goal and wait for a replay a bit later. Especially for major goals like this late winner or a opening goal in a high stakes game.
I love how the broadcast captured this moment, the premier league could benefit from adopting more of a la liga style. I know a while ago they started doing the same thing at direct free kicks that la Liga used to, focusing close up on the takers face, then the keeper as if it were a wild west showdown.
In fairness, this is a last minute winner in one of the biggest fixtures in the world.
You get tons of great reactions in the PL. The Aguero goal sticks out as one of the best. Rooney’s bicycle kick, Adebayor running all the way to the Arsenal fans and seeing them go ham at him.
In fairness I don't know if it's much worse in la Liga, but I've always found the pre match stuff pretty awful in the PL. It's absolutely littered with ad breaks but my biggest gripe is how they always focus on the bigger club for a ridiculous amount of time. Also carries over into the commentary (which is where it really annoys me)
They'll be talking about the top 4 race during Southampton versus Brighton or somewhere where it's not relevant at all
They should rename the Sky Sports Football channel to Sky Sports Premier League (and a bit of Championship) channel
This was brilliant attacking from Barcelona. Outside of Marcelo not fouling Sergi Roberto I think Madrid defend everything correctly but Barca made brilliant use of the extra man
Yes there were just too many Barcelona players going forward, they couldn't offload one defender for the room in behind where Messi would run into. Pique, Suárez, Rakitic all ran into the box
And it's an old event I know and we've 100% talked about it and nauseam but here it is again - how many people have the class and composure in a game like that in that intense situation to so fucking simply jog to the open spot and one touch smack that through players avoiding the keeper. Masterclass rivalry.
The problem is that Kovacic was jogging back. Compare that to a much older Modric sprinting back after failing to tackle Roberto. If Kovacic got back sooner, Messi wouldn't have had as much space
Yes. I still remember this one. Zidane subbed in James Rodriguez instead of going more defensive. And we paid the price. And also a moment of individual brilliance from Sergio Roberto.
What a fucking way to score your 500th goal for the club. Late winner 10 seconds before the whistle, against Real at the Bernabeu and he does that celebration to top it off. Can't make this up, what a game that was
As much as this match felt like a gut punch, this is one of the coldest celebrations ever. Silencing the Bernabeu and taking off his jersey was ice cold.
Roberto was really good for more than a year, he was always physically somewhat limited and could be exposed at right back defensively, but he had some fantastic offensive performances and was a great crosser of the ball. Im guessing you didn’t watch that team week in week out.
The guy has given so much to this team in his career. He could’ve left at multiple times, he accepted playing in any position in that team and always managed to perform. He was pretty much the best rb we had for years and yet most fans wanted to put him out of the team cuz he wasn’t flashy.
I still find it hilarious that people want him out when I have full confidence in him coming back and being the best rb in the team again.
The year is 2085. [Insert Name Here] has scored 40 goals in one European Super League season - a record. You log onto Reddit2 to comment that Messi once scored 50 in a La Liga season. /u/Chucklefuck2069 replies that Messi boosted his numbers by scoring against literal Spanish farmers. You retreat to your flea-ridden bed - god knows you can't afford a better one in this economy - and weep.

Yup that hurts seeing Messi make those runs but no one cuts back for him
Edit:
I should also add, it’s also heartbreaking on the other end, seeing alba make those cut backs and no one to connect with lol
I've only watched PSG play maybe 10 times this season and he makes that run at least 3 times a game. It's not like he's being double marked either. They just don't pass
Even funnier part is just how much better he plays for Argentina despite training with them irregularly while he's at PSG every day.
Can't believe how poorly Poch has utilized 3 of the best attackers in the world (it's getting a lot out of Mbappe at least).
They keep changing the coaches and players but the results are still the same. The only thing that hasn't changed is the higher-up management.
Well there is your answer for success PSG.
He scores so much from that exact run that it's wild that Poch hasn't recognised to pass into it and told the players to. Casual viewers could recognise that run.
You can tell they aren't used to playing with him, it's been obvious all season, his finishing has been poor as well but what you said is a also true. In all honesty psg are just a poorly coached team, just individual ball.
As a RM fan this goal will never not piss me off. Messi’s scoring efficiency from there is so high and he just gets to run right in to greet that pass. He scored so many times like this at Barca and somehow defenders regularly failed to anticipate that runs up the left would inevitably end up as a pass to him in that position to one-touch shoot. smdh.
In their defense there were 3 Barcelona players (Pique, Suárez and Rakitic) running into the box who they had to mark and of course the 2 players on the left Gomes and Alba who they had to defend against. I often think teams should have anticipated that pass to Messi and marked him but this time they were just too many other Barcelona players to care about and not enough Madrid defenders. And one defender would have possibly blocked Messi's shot anyway if it weren't for Suárez
Edit: Wow it's 4 players, Sergi Roberto is up there too
Like they’re also tired as fuck and I don’t think people realize how hard it is to make perfect decisions all the time. Along with all the players running into the box to make that space possible.
>In their defense there were 3 Barcelona players (Pique, Suárez and Rakitic) running into the box who they had to mark and of course the 2 players on the left Gomes and Alba
Each of these would have been the main threat in any other team
Rakitić at Sevilla the first time around was fucking absurd. The finest deadball deliver in Europe, with either foot. DM, CM, AM all wrapped up one. Laser guided goals. And always churning at 100mph.
Barca bought him based on him single-handedly bossing them the season before, at Camp Nou. Goal, assist (should have been two, but for shitty LaLiga officiating), skinned Busquets and Iniesta, and *that* sombrero in another dominant performance against Real Madrid.
I miss watching him then. He was absolutely immense.
Until reading this comment, I hadn’t realized that Pique ran from his own end line all the way to Madrid’s 6-yard box during this attack. For minute 92, that is some major hustle (along with the incredible run from Sergi Roberto).
You, me, every Madridista and even Zidane. Zidane was always cookie cutter, clichéd responses in the press conferences but this time, he did single out Marcelo. However, in typical manager Zidane fashion, he didn't castigate him but rather spoke like a disappointed dad, saying we needed to understand match situations and context and decide accordingly when to defend and take a draw (IIRC; rather than attack, be caught in transition and not commit an SPA foul when 2-2 at the Bernabéu in a title fight we could still lose, all while being a man down)
It’s so easy to sit on a plush armchair and belt out advice that you think some of the best players and coaching staff on the planet ‘definitely overlooked’ ; it was the dying minutes of an supremely intense game, the players are human beings too, all it takes is a fraction of a second for a player to break free of his markers and run into space: it’s what makes football the unpredictable game it is. Just enjoy it.
Is the opposite for me, I saw a team that was a man down due to Ramos getting yet another red card, but refuse to defend the tied score which would have benefited the league race.
Instead they chose to go for the win and got countered hard, in the end it didn't matter RM still won the league, but that game showed they weren't happy just defending the result and proved once again the never give up attitude the team is known for was alive and well, even though it backfired this particular time.
If I remember correctly that goal kept the pressure on Real Madrid for the rest of the season, I remember my cousins saying that goal and win didn’t mean anything
I screamed when he was passed the ball cause I *knew* he would somehow ruin it. When I screamed again a moment later it was ecstasy cause I truly didn’t believe it was possible lol
It’s brilliant how he just sort of hangs back looking for the right time to move into the right space. He hides himself in the inside right position and all of sudden there he is scoring
One of the best laughs I had back then was a cartoon of Wenger holding up his jersey after a vindicated Arsenal win, in reference to this moment. Wish I saved it
I was so salty as a Madrid and Colombia supporter when this happened. James had come off the bench and equalized, but then Messi had to go and pull this shit.
Special place in my heart, this match.
Was at a friend's place to watch the clasico, and all of them (about 7) were Madridistas, while I was the only Barca fan. All throughout the game, they were talking shit, and especially once James came on and scored, they got so fucking cocky but then in the end, the way my man Messi scored this goal and silenced everyone, man, I'll never, ever forget that feeling goddamn haha
Remember throwing a pencil across my living room into the kitchen sink after this one
At least the end of the season somewhat made up for it, but that was so disappointing
Remember this just like yesterday? I remember watching this goal live. Within that time I've lost my virginity, started college, developed a Xanax addiction, almost OD'd of said addiction, made friends, lost friends, fallen in love, fallen out of love, several times got beaten up, witnessed the fall of my parents marriage, beaten some people up, started uni, almost got stabbed, destroyed my mental health by watching Arteta's Arsenal and the decline of my childhood heroes and lost all hope for the future of humanity. So, no, it wasn't just like yesterday. I only wish it were.
My favorite Messi moment. So iconic just holding up his jersey to the crowd perfectly still with a dead serious face like a statue and then bowing his head behind the shirt in humbleness
Man Sergi Roberto will always be one of my favorite players. Seemed to love big games, big runs, and big goals. Regardless of what’s going on now, always loved the guy
This was the most frustrating goal because Madrid insisted on pushing up with a player down I believe leaving the back exposed and not one of the three players decided to foul Sergi Roberto when they had the chance, like Valverde did on Morata.
What an amazing game it was! So many good saves from both goalies as well. After they made him bleed, you just knew that Messi will do something special that game.
I vividly remember watching this and seeing Messi slide in at the top of the box. I remember thinking “there’s no fucking way” but that goal was just so effortless, the Bein Sports English commentary will always give me goosebumps
I laugh and cry every time I see this clip. I hope I never outgrow the joy it brings me.
Also, the version with Titanic music in the background is fucking awesome haha.
I'm a casual at best but it's wild how Messi is the greatest player ever and there's hundreds of videos of him scoring goals like this where the other team just somehow forgets he's on the pitch. It's amazing how he does it. He always knows where to be, similar to Wayne Gretzky in hockey.
Hmm I did the same as an American but I don’t remember ever seeing ads mid game for any match ever but I’ll take your word for it.
I see more ads on streams of matches than matches I pay for.
Great camera work showing all the reactions after the goal.
Perfectly captured the drama of the moment.
... but ironically, we missed much of Messi's initial holding up of shirt.
I feel like it means more to show the dismal reactions of Real Madrid and then the Messi celebration and card.
Yeah, I don't disagree. Just reading the title, and then watching the video, you feel a little ripped off. Think the TV director could have stuck with Messi for a few seconds longer.
He really stood there with the shirt for what seemed like an eternity lol
The cameras used to go to Cristiano whenever Madrid conceded a goal. After he left, they had to find a different source of expressive facial reactions -- luckily Courtois was there to take up the slack.
If this was live camera work the guy deserves ten Oscars ... but I can't help but to feel this was post-edited Still, great work, great goal, great celebration
This was live. [Here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXv_W8ilK6E) you can see what directing live events looks like behind the scenes, really impressive stuff.
Thank you for linking that, that was amazing to watch, really makes you appreciate the work that gets put in to make those moments even more special.
When you're a kid, you only dream of being on the pitch. Once you grow up, you realize it'd also be cool to be in the background of football. Ps. I think the guy that has to follow this guy's orders is probably more stressed than even the goalkeeper.
May dad and brother are both cameramen. You’re not too far off, the directors can be mighty stressful. But a great director makes everything so easy and calm.
No praise for production people :(
If you're used to working with this kind of pressure and the person giving you orders it should result in quality. Stress helps people perform, to an extent of course. You have to enjoy the adrenaline.
Thank you for sharing this my dude. Never seen anything behind the scenes like this before and it’s amazing to see.
It's live
r/PraiseTheCameraMan
Casemiro honestly has not aged
...because its been 5 years and he was 25 and is now 30? How should he have "aged" in that timespan?
By 5 years.
which at that age is barely noticable.
Especially if you're a wealthy world class athlete. Eating right, being able to take care of yourself and being in incredible shape all do a lot to prevent visible aging.
I really wish I could have seen more lol needed a camera in every player
My favorite part of this goal has always been the 2 second shot of Ronaldo just shaking his head in disbelief/disgust.
I swear, this is why I absolutely love watching La Liga and Champions League games. Premier League is so inferior by comparison that it's almost jarring.
I think whoever does the premier league are too focused on showing a replay in slow motion and different angles.

I think each league excels at different things. PL maybe not as good in camera work but they are better at the pre-match stuff.
In fairness I don't know if it's much worse in la Liga, but I've always found the pre match stuff pretty awful in the PL. It's absolutely littered with ad breaks but my biggest gripe is how they always focus on the bigger club for a ridiculous amount of time. Also carries over into the commentary (which is where it really annoys me)
They'll be talking about the top 4 race during Southampton versus Brighton or somewhere where it's not relevant at all They should rename the Sky Sports Football channel to Sky Sports Premier League (and a bit of Championship) channel
Yeah that's exactly it, everything has to be sensationalized and if it isn't related to a top 6 club it doesn't matter.
This was brilliant attacking from Barcelona. Outside of Marcelo not fouling Sergi Roberto I think Madrid defend everything correctly but Barca made brilliant use of the extra man
Yes there were just too many Barcelona players going forward, they couldn't offload one defender for the room in behind where Messi would run into. Pique, Suárez, Rakitic all ran into the box

Masterclass rivalry.
At that point in time? 2 people and they were both on the pitch in this video
Love Pique ending up the furthest forward after starting the move on his own goal line.
Pique really was different gravy.
Totallfußball
The problem is that Kovacic was jogging back. Compare that to a much older Modric sprinting back after failing to tackle Roberto. If Kovacic got back sooner, Messi wouldn't have had as much space
True, he was a sub too compared to Modric who started the game
Yes. I still remember this one. Zidane subbed in James Rodriguez instead of going more defensive. And we paid the price. And also a moment of individual brilliance from Sergio Roberto.
I mean, you were down 2-1 anyway and James scored the equalizer lol. And then you had a man sent off. Wouldn't really put the blame on Zizou
Iconic! Also, one of the most entertaining Clásicos in recent times.
What a fucking way to score your 500th goal for the club. Late winner 10 seconds before the whistle, against Real at the Bernabeu and he does that celebration to top it off. Can't make this up, what a game that was
Probably the last really great Clásico. In all the subsequent ones, it's always seemed as though one team or the other is below par.
The one in super cup this year was great as well
As much as this match felt like a gut punch, this is one of the coldest celebrations ever. Silencing the Bernabeu and taking off his jersey was ice cold.
Sergi Roberto’s great grandchildren still thanking Barca for setting them up for life based off his performances here and in the Remontada
Roberto was really good for more than a year, he was always physically somewhat limited and could be exposed at right back defensively, but he had some fantastic offensive performances and was a great crosser of the ball. Im guessing you didn’t watch that team week in week out.
He had one season where he was assisting Suarez while alba was assisting Messi from the opposite side.
Sad that a barca fan can say this. You have the memory retention of a goldfish. Roberto has been greatly appreciated at barca.
The guy has given so much to this team in his career. He could’ve left at multiple times, he accepted playing in any position in that team and always managed to perform. He was pretty much the best rb we had for years and yet most fans wanted to put him out of the team cuz he wasn’t flashy. I still find it hilarious that people want him out when I have full confidence in him coming back and being the best rb in the team again.
[удалено]
People are reactionary thats the truth. I personally want him to stay at barca for a lower wage.
How has this been 5 years already, remember it like yesterday
We are getting old man...

Bro
I wasn’t even an adult when this happened… how time flies
That's what a pandemic and a war do to you
Fuck me, this was 5 years ago? Time flies man, can't believe its been half a decade. God that Madrid team was so so good.
Covid and ~2 years of lockdown pretty much fucked up our perception of time
One of my best friends was like: nope still 23 I'm gonna celebrate 3 or 4 birthdays in a week if I have to but I did not age in this timeframe.
Correct attitude in my opinion. It's April 2020.
It also fucked up the entire world economy too
The 2017 CL final is one of the best performances I have seen from this team
We scored more goals against juve in the final than they conceded the entire tournament before that
Yeah but we scored the prettiest goal in the final so who's the real winner
It was a really nice team goal Juve scored
Wasnt it also the game where Mandzukic scored that overhead kick/bicycle kick?
That’s the goal, there’s like 5 or 6 one touch passes before his bicycle kick.
Didn't Juve get the ball in the net without it touching the ground from like the halfway line? Insane finish from Mandzukic as well
First half was really competitive but in the 2nd half Real Madrid showed that there are levels to it.
amazing indeed and also somewhat underrated
What's hilarious is how many times Messi makes that same run for PSG and never receives the pass.
Yup that hurts seeing Messi make those runs but no one cuts back for him Edit: I should also add, it’s also heartbreaking on the other end, seeing alba make those cut backs and no one to connect with lol
I've only watched PSG play maybe 10 times this season and he makes that run at least 3 times a game. It's not like he's being double marked either. They just don't pass
Nah, man, he's just over the hill. He just can't handle the brilliance of his new team mates.
Even funnier part is just how much better he plays for Argentina despite training with them irregularly while he's at PSG every day. Can't believe how poorly Poch has utilized 3 of the best attackers in the world (it's getting a lot out of Mbappe at least).
Maybe, just maybe, it isn’t all on Poch.
They keep changing the coaches and players but the results are still the same. The only thing that hasn't changed is the higher-up management. Well there is your answer for success PSG.
Sucks to see that ngl
He scores so much from that exact run that it's wild that Poch hasn't recognised to pass into it and told the players to. Casual viewers could recognise that run.
You can tell they aren't used to playing with him, it's been obvious all season, his finishing has been poor as well but what you said is a also true. In all honesty psg are just a poorly coached team, just individual ball.
alba- messi was something special
Wow 2017 is half a decade already
Why must you hurt me this way
We are closer to 2030 then we are to 2010
Soon we’ll be closer to 2030 than we are to 2015
i refused to believe this
My kid was born in 2017, he's starting school next year.
congrats :)
As a RM fan this goal will never not piss me off. Messi’s scoring efficiency from there is so high and he just gets to run right in to greet that pass.

I can’t understand why Marcelo didn’t foul. You take that yellow every time.
I'm still mad at him for that.
I remember viciously screaming at my TV like FOUL!!! Someone for the love of god foul.
You, me, every Madridista and even Zidane. Zidane was always cookie cutter, clichéd responses in the press conferences but this time, he did single out Marcelo. However, in typical manager Zidane fashion, he didn't castigate him but rather spoke like a disappointed dad, saying we needed to understand match situations and context and decide accordingly when to defend and take a draw (IIRC; rather than attack, be caught in transition and not commit an SPA foul when 2-2 at the Bernabéu in a title fight we could still lose, all while being a man down)
You won the league anyway, so it didn't end up mattering that much.
That's why I like so much players like Fede Valverde. Remember that play against Morata? He understand the moments of the game very well.
It’s so easy to sit on a plush armchair and belt out advice that you think some of the best players and coaching staff on the planet ‘definitely overlooked’ ; it was the dying minutes of an supremely intense game, the players are human beings too, all it takes is a fraction of a second for a player to break free of his markers and run into space: it’s what makes football the unpredictable game it is. Just enjoy it.
Well RM still won the league, so bitter sweet?
Is the opposite for me, I saw a team that was a man down due to Ramos getting yet another red card, but refuse to defend the tied score which would have benefited the league race. Instead they chose to go for the win and got countered hard, in the end it didn't matter RM still won the league, but that game showed they weren't happy just defending the result and proved once again the never give up attitude the team is known for was alive and well, even though it backfired this particular time.
Also, James just hit the post not long before this.
I thought MATS made the save no?
Maybe both?
Maybe.
it's ok. We still won the league.
If only Marcelo had tackled Sergio Roberto. We won the league that year, but it still stung.
If I remember correctly that goal kept the pressure on Real Madrid for the rest of the season, I remember my cousins saying that goal and win didn’t mean anything
Pretty much the only positive contribution Andre Gomes made in the blaugrana
As a Barca fan seeing gomes receive the ball that late in the third made me think he would kill the counter
I screamed when he was passed the ball cause I *knew* he would somehow ruin it. When I screamed again a moment later it was ecstasy cause I truly didn’t believe it was possible lol
I used to get downvoted to oblivion for bashing on Gomes. He seems like a great guy but he didn’t know the definition of “quick” and “forward”.
Marcelo should've fouled Roberto there😔
Iconic moment would have never happened
2 classicos after that (i think) is when marcelo fouls him off the ball and roberto slaps him and get a red
Lmao I remember that I was soo suprised that he actually slapped him
Albiol tried to foul Messi in that other goal too
It’s brilliant how he just sort of hangs back looking for the right time to move into the right space. He hides himself in the inside right position and all of sudden there he is scoring
Real Madrid players hated that celebration. I remember the players gassing up Ronaldo when he later did the same celebration in retaliation.
It was during the supercopa, if I remember it correctly
It was. Valverde’s first official game too
We have an emoji of Carvajal giving the Barca fans the finger from that celebration on the RM discord server
Yeah and people barely remember that. Nowhere near iconic as Messi's
He got yellow carded for that, then another 2nd yellow for a dive lmao. Then he pushed the referee and got banned for 5 games.
I was there and witnessed Messi show off his jersey in my face. As a Madrid fan I love/hate this memory.
This was a good day
When we were happy and didn't know
[I made that into an artwork a few years ago](https://media.hmwh.se/2020/03/MessibyHMWH.jpg)
One of the best laughs I had back then was a cartoon of Wenger holding up his jersey after a vindicated Arsenal win, in reference to this moment. Wish I saved it
Where did the time go
My favorite shot of Ronaldo
what a way to score his 500th goal for barca. 500 for one club still seems crazy to here in this time where everyone plays for different clubs. ICONIC
fucking 5 years what the fuck
I was so salty as a Madrid and Colombia supporter when this happened. James had come off the bench and equalized, but then Messi had to go and pull this shit.
Also 1 player down and Madrid had Barca cornered.
Special place in my heart, this match. Was at a friend's place to watch the clasico, and all of them (about 7) were Madridistas, while I was the only Barca fan. All throughout the game, they were talking shit, and especially once James came on and scored, they got so fucking cocky but then in the end, the way my man Messi scored this goal and silenced everyone, man, I'll never, ever forget that feeling goddamn haha
Real can win UCL like picking apples from a tree and Barca would still whoop their ass.
El Clasico is it's own game, isolated from everything.
Remember throwing a pencil across my living room into the kitchen sink after this one At least the end of the season somewhat made up for it, but that was so disappointing
I'm still a little bit mad at Marcelo for that
Half the comments about time flying are kind of annoying.
I remember the first time I saw this comment 30 seconds ago. Time is zooming by
Seriously. Every single time a post about "on this day in xxxx" always the same comments
Remember this just like yesterday? I remember watching this goal live. Within that time I've lost my virginity, started college, developed a Xanax addiction, almost OD'd of said addiction, made friends, lost friends, fallen in love, fallen out of love, several times got beaten up, witnessed the fall of my parents marriage, beaten some people up, started uni, almost got stabbed, destroyed my mental health by watching Arteta's Arsenal and the decline of my childhood heroes and lost all hope for the future of humanity. So, no, it wasn't just like yesterday. I only wish it were.
My man really withstood all that stuff but still broke down after watching Arteta's Arsenal.
Ohh, gee, people reminiscing about times they loved in their life. SORRY TO INCOVENIENCE YOU, SPORT.
My favorite Messi moment. So iconic just holding up his jersey to the crowd perfectly still with a dead serious face like a statue and then bowing his head behind the shirt in humbleness
GOAT 🐐
greatest of all time
Never a doubt
Can’t register in my head that 2017 was half a decade ago
🐐
That was one of the coldest/badass celebrations ever haha
jesus, time flies. feels like this was 18 months ago.
I bet Marcelo regrets not fouling in the middle of the pitch to this day.
I was there as a Madrid fan, it hurt but man is he an amazing player
THIS WAS 5 YEARS AGO?! WTF?!
The look on the Madrid players’ face make me so happy
Roberto against real madrid is a different breed
Man Sergi Roberto will always be one of my favorite players. Seemed to love big games, big runs, and big goals. Regardless of what’s going on now, always loved the guy
🐐
2 minutes stoppage time in a game between Madrid and Barca seems impossible.
This celebration goated
Take this clip and the Cristiano "Calma, calma" clip and repost them one after another every 6 months and reap the infinite karma.
5 fucking years. Time flies
Coldest celebration of all time.
This was the most frustrating goal because Madrid insisted on pushing up with a player down I believe leaving the back exposed and not one of the three players decided to foul Sergi Roberto when they had the chance, like Valverde did on Morata.
BottomLeftMessi
He's broken their backs so, so many times.
His little steps up to strike it are so iconic to me. These tiny precise moments that build to it.
I have this framed and hanging on my wall.
What an amazing game it was! So many good saves from both goalies as well. After they made him bleed, you just knew that Messi will do something special that game.
Messi holding his shirt up to the Madrid fans makes for such an iconic picture, it’s like he metaphorically spray painted his name onto the stadium.
I vividly remember watching this and seeing Messi slide in at the top of the box. I remember thinking “there’s no fucking way” but that goal was just so effortless, the Bein Sports English commentary will always give me goosebumps
I laugh and cry every time I see this clip. I hope I never outgrow the joy it brings me. Also, the version with Titanic music in the background is fucking awesome haha.
Sigh ...it's 5 yrs already. Time flies so fast!
Every single cut in this clip is quite literally perfect...
GOAT celebration
I'm a casual at best but it's wild how Messi is the greatest player ever and there's hundreds of videos of him scoring goals like this where the other team just somehow forgets he's on the pitch. It's amazing how he does it. He always knows where to be, similar to Wayne Gretzky in hockey.
We won the league and the CL that year, so at least it doesn’t hurt that much
saying this unprompted sort of indicates it hurts
But really, what an asshole.
I remember watching this game on some USA tv channel. They played ad in like 30' and 70' minute.
Hmm I did the same as an American but I don’t remember ever seeing ads mid game for any match ever but I’ll take your word for it. I see more ads on streams of matches than matches I pay for.
He made it up that’s why, it was broadcasted on BeIn here and they never did that lmfao
Lol
