and he knows instinctively where the goal is he has the initial ball in it doesn't find its target he keeps on running he keeps on ticking and he sinks his knife in beautifully in the saddle from messi here's the argentinian leo messi into the penalty area from leo missy incredible stuff there juno to barcelona and leo messi's pulled out one of those little pieces of magic that he does i say every so often but which he does there's almost monotonous regularity screaming girl from messi to note of arsenal [Music] messi suarez just peels away from
the defender messi who's like alone massey it's a scores goal from leo messi to bring the deadlock and the cup now halfway through the first period but suarez just acts as the decoy and messi finishes off himself it really was vintage lionel messi we've seen this so many times that one can almost become accustomed to it but really shouldn't look back in years to cover goals like this [Music] that's what they came for by train playing an automobile 50 000 argentines have found their way to rio and lionel messi finally rewards them [Music] [Music] [Applause]

away goals rule that puts them in front in the tiger they're just level on aggregate [Music] they're backing off and backing off [Applause] and the best player in the world might just have won this game for argentina [Applause] [Music] messi pulling the atoms with them as he moves forward goes under the legs of the defender dribbles foreign [Applause] [Applause] nothing less [Applause] [Music] oh my goodness oh my goodness just when you think he's done everything he comes up with something even more special to catch allison out and to make it [Applause] and perhaps only that
