This small clip shows an important skill that makes Messi one of the greatest footballers of all time. On 20th February 2025, Inter Miami played against Sporting Kansas City in negative temperatures, making it one of the coldest matches ever. Interestingly, even such frigid conditions could not stop Messi from showing his class. He scored the game's only goal, that too with his right foot, putting an end to the 15-year-old question, "Can he do it on a cold, rainy night in Stoke?"

However, this particular clip was even more impressive. Here, you can see that as soon as Suarez lines up his shot, all the players were either moving towards him or standing still, except one: Messi. Just imagine if there was a rebound. Who would have been in the best position to react?

Some skills like awareness and anticipation are really underrated in football. These skills may not be as attractive as body feints or step-overs, but these are the ones that separate top players from the others.
