It's time to make part 2 of this series, showing even more amazing goals that were almost scored by Messi. There's a plethora of these plays so it will probably be very long, so without further ado, let's get into some more would-have-been goals.
The first one we'll be seeing in this entry happened against Levante in the 2010-11 La Liga season. He made a great solo effort, dribbling past some players and getting into the box, but his shot unfortunately hit the post.
Not long after, in September of 2011, he played against Nigeria in a friendly. In that game, he stole a ball from a rival in the halfway line and ran to the box, dribbling past some players in between, and shot on target, which the keeper saved, but Di María scored in the rebound.
Next up is a game against Las Palmas at home in the 2016-17 La Liga season. Once again, Messi came close to scoring an Olympic goal, but it was saved by the keeper near the goal-line.
In 2012, Messi played a qualifier game for the 2014 World Cup against Uruguay at home. He made a great run, getting past some players and shooting the ball over the keeper, but it hit the crossbar and went out.
And last but not least, in a game against Viktoria Plzen at home in the 2010-11 Champions League season, he made a run to the box dribbling past a player and going past 2 players on the floor. He finished the play with a chip shot which unfortunately hit the post and went to a goal kick.
That's all for the 2nd part. I hope you liked this entry, and as always, I'll see you in the next blog.
