After making a Villarreal defender look foolish, Lionel Messi had one more victim on Saturday in the win over Villarreal in La Liga. The Argentine scored his second to make it 4-1 late in the match, and it came off a cheeky panenka penalty kick.
Check out this classy chipped effort:

You only do that if you are confident, and we all know Messi is. It's like a windmill dunk in basketball or going for a one-handed catch in football when you could have used two. If you don't execute, you look like an idiot.
Messi executed perfectly, and it was the goalkeeper who was left looking silly.
