In yet another reminder that Lionel Messi isn't from this planet, the Argentine phenom showcased his phenomenal first touch during a recent appearance on a Japanese television show.
After a pair of trucks hoisted a fence to a height of 18 metres, Messi was asked to kick a ball over the obstacle and collect it on the other side.
It's a task that even some of the world's greatest footballers would struggle to accomplish, but Messi had little difficulty performing the feat as he dropped the jaws of those who were watching.
