While speaking in 2018 Barcelona documentary ‘Take ball, pass ball’, Thierry Henry recalled Lionel Messi’s ‘logic-defying’ goal against Malaga.  Arsenal legend was quoted as saying " best goal I've seen him score was against Malaga at home because that defied logic what he did. Diagonal ball, he controls it on his chest, runs full speed. First player goes, second player is just behind. He takes ar step, that player can clear ball. If he's got ball on his left foot here, how do you go back with that same leg and touch ball in air, in between two to make sure that guy doesn't touch it -- and n almost fail but smash it into top corner. That's t rmal."
