FENOMENO



Fenomeno is the Catalan word for phenomenon, and this word describes Lionel Messi perfectly. If you do not believe me, just take a look at the stunned Real Madrid defenders pictured above who watched him score this epic goal against them last month.

This past Sunday, there was a wonderful piece on the front page of the New York Times' Sports section about Messi written by Jere Longman. That piece captures Messi's greatness better than any piece I have read about him. Mr. Longman's words and Messi's play speak for themselves. Enjoy!
