Lionel Messi is so good, he almost made Ander Herrera cry
When most people watch Lionel Messi, they are mesmerized by the little Argentine's ability to dance through tackles, make defenders look inadequate, keep the ball glued to his feet, pick perfect passes and score astounding goals.
All of that, aside from a goal – thanks for ruining that by the way, Joe Hart – was on display in last week's Champions League match against Manchester City, where Messi was at his spellbinding best.
He was so good, in fact, that Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera admitted in a lengthy, wide-ranging interview with El Pais, that he was nearly brought to tears watching Messi shine.
Ander: "The last time I cried? I almost cried watching Messi against Man City. He's so good! But anyway, I get emotional very easily."

Real men aren't afraid to cry.
