As if being the world’s best footballer is not enough, the Barcelona superstar looks ready to conquer the world of basketball.

In some pictures circulating on social media, Messi scores himself a basket by kicking a football directly off the ground.

The chip shot was pulled off during training but would surely have earned him three points if he was on the court.
