Watch Lionel Messi’s amazing football juggling feat
Barcelona star slams ball over barrier as high as a house, then keeps juggling on the other side
Lionel Messi showed off his incredible touch with a football by juggling over a building-high hurdle hanging from a crane live on Japanese television.
The footage is interspersed with some zany graphics typical of Japanese TV, but the skill is no-less impressive.
The pocket-sized Barcelona star was dwarfed by the huge fence erected over him for the TV show challenge.
He looked as if he doubted himself at times during the footage.
When the challenge began he juggled normally for a time…
…before hoofing the ball over the barrier…
…then running to where it is going to land…
…and amazingly controlling it with ease.
Messi then thrilled onlookers by repeating the feat.
