VIDEO: Argentina man scores the most ridiculous long-range goal you will see all week

Stop that!

And it’s not his first piece of magic either.

You might remember Lionel Andrés Messi, the former Newell’s Old Boys footballer who was doing all sorts of stupid stuff with an orange only last month.

Well, he’s only gone and topped it in quite spectacular fashion.

A native of Rosario in Argentina, Messi has been holidaying in Japan and, messing around with friends, the 28-year-old hit the most audacious curling shot across an entire football pitch into the tiniest goals. And it was caught on camera.

Nicknamed ‘Leo’ by acquaintances, the man who now lives in Spain is obviously gaining a lot of traction with a fan account of Barcelona star, Neymar, posting his video.

Even the crowd stopped to celebrate his stunning effort as he swung his left boot magically before going on about his everyday life.
