Training brings out the most creative side of the players, as there is no pressure from a football match. This is not the case with Leo Messi, who is as fantastic in training as he is in the games. But this time he surprised everyone with the only kind of goal he hasn't scored for Barca: a bicycle kick.
In a football tennis match in training, Arturo Vidal headed him the ball and the Argentine dared to scissor kick it. It went perfectly and was good enough to score a point.
It isn't the first time we've seen him do something like that in training, although it is true scoring a bicycle kick is one of the few challenges that remain for him at Barca.
One of the times that he was closest to achieving it was a few months ago in the Champions League against Manchester United. His bicycle kick beat De Gea who didn't move, but the ball hit the bar.
