Last week, Barcelona was
unexpectedly eliminated from the Champions League in the semi-finals against Chelsea . Near the end
of the first half, Lionel Messi, known to be the world’s best soccer player,
took an incredible penalty kick which sent the ball flying into the air far
away from the net. Fans of Barcelona defensively
argue that his mistake was due to the tackle prior to the shot. However,
reports from the interviews with Messi beg to differ.
In his most recent interview, Lionel Messi confessed that his failed
penalty shot was rather intentional than accidental. He described that the shot
was “the greatest shot of [his] life”, even though his mistake largely contributed to Chelsea ’s victory.
“Didn’t you guys see that? I nailed him straight in the face! It was epic.
How did you guys miss that? The ball flew over like 10 baby heads,” explained
Messi.
From the reports from the match, the target of Messi’s penalty shot was
proved to be Hannibal Eulalia, Lionel Messi’s high school alumni, and also the
man who is believed to have had love affairs with Messi’s former girlfriend.
“It’s not just because my girlfriend cheated on me for that guy. There’s
more to it than that and you won’t believe some of the things he’s done to me at
school. One time, he came up to me with his buddies and took my lunch money! He
used to bully me every single day. Just thinking of that made me want to kick
him in the face with a soccer ball whenever I think of that. And that’s exactly
what I did in the game! Who knows I’ll be lucky enough to find him again in a
crowd of 10,000 people all shouting my name? I didn’t want to miss my chances,”
stated Messi in his interview.
In the last moments of his interview, where Messi was asked how he would
make up for the loss against Chelsea and redeem
himself for the elimination of his team in the Champions League, he then
nonchalantly replied, “I’ll just win it next year. I’m still the best attacker
in the whole league.”
Reports after the match of Barcelona and Chelsea confirmed that
Lionel Messi, Barcelona ’s famed
attacker/winger and supposedly the greatest soccer player in the world, will be playing as a goalie
for the next 5 seasons of his career with Barcelona.
