Lionel Messi was born with an amount of athletic talent unfathomable to mere humans, and this is reinforced every single time we watch him on the pitch.

Sometimes, though, it takes the most casual of settings to fully appreciate just how ridiculously talented a guy like Messi is.

That was the case in this video posted by FC Barcelona, in which Messi pulls off an impossible trick-shot goal and then smiles as if it was the easiest thing he's ever done.

From behind the goal, Messi fires a kick with so much spin that it lands in front of the goal and immediately redirects itself into the net as if it's making a hard right turn on command. You almost have to watch this multiple times to realize how incredible it is because Messi responds like it's no big deal.
