Lionel Messi is arguably the greatest footballer of all time. The legendary attacker has won it all over the course of his career, and he came close to adding a second World Cup to his tally after Argentina reached the final in the summer.

However, Spain ended up beating Messi’s side in the end, and that came at a temporary personal cost to one Arsenal player: Mikel Merino .

But he doesn’t care now. Mikel Merino says Lionel Messi’s shot made him ‘blind in one eye’ during the World Cup final Lionel Messi is often hailed for his magical left foot that’s full of elegance and praise, but it packs serious power as well.
