Among the many reasons Lionel Messi‘s teammates are thankful to be playing with him, getting to avoid coming up against him must be pretty high up on the list.

Of course, they still have to face him in training, so they aren’t completely spared the torment.

It’s one of the remarkable things about this Barcelona team. They have a collection of great footballers, such as Andres Iniesta, Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets, and Gerard Pique, and then they have Messi, who leaves everyone else in awe.

What it means is that some of the best players in the world get to watch the Argentine hone his talent.
