Second part. Imagine hitting the post 5 times in a row, especially from that angle. I am sure this video has been posted here before, but not with Zidane being mesmerised by it. And he was much closer to the goal, central and just doing wee slow volleys. Diego was smashing at power, lol.

' is not this video.... Diego used to hit the crossbar from the edge of the six-yard box, the ball would come back and hit the crossbar again... This video is even more difficult... What's more, that same day he did what Zidane says, he hit him 16 times in a row, but it was almost dark and it couldn't be filmed, greetings'

Think it's more to do with style of play and mentality. Maradona was more extravagant and more of a showboater/showman at times, like Ronaldinho. Like the rabonas and overhead kicks and stuff. Messi has a very simple, economical style of football and dribbling. He doesn't try anything overly complicated or flashy for the most part. I mean he could easily do it, but he doesn't.

Messi plays football like his personality - minimal fuss.
I agree about their style and personality. But when you have short legs and big torso, it will affect your acrobatic moves.
