Thierry Henry recalls the Lionel Messi moment that made him think ‘that’s not normal’

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry, who is currently in charge of AS Monaco, spent three seasons playing alongside Lionel Messi at Barcelona. Henry recalls the Messi moment that made him think ‘that’s not normal’. “The best goal I’ve seen him score was against Malaga at home because that defied logic what he did,” Henry began. “Diagonal ball, he controls it on his chest, runs full speed. The first player goes, the second player is just behind. He takes another step, that player can clear the ball. If he’s got the ball on his left foot here, how do you go back with that same leg and touch the ball in the air, in between the two to make sure that guy doesn’t touch it - and then almost fail but smash it into the top corner. That’s not normal.”
