GIF: Lionel Messi falls flat on his face celebrating 400th goal

It happens to the best of us...

Ben Kenyon

You’ve just pulled off a sublime piece of skill and then you go and ruin it by falling on your a*se.

We’ve all been there. It’s pretty embarrasing.

Well gents, it happens to the best of us. The very best of us.

Even Barcelona football genius Lionel Messi.

The Argentine had just banged in his 400th goal and was wheeling away to celebrate when he fell flat on his face in front of thousands of fans.

He’s human after all!

We feel your pain Lionel, but you’re still a legend in our eyes…
