Lionel Messi embarrassed Sergio Ramos with a ridiculous nutmeg during pre-season El Clasico

Lionel Messi embarrassed Sergio Ramos with a nutmeg on Saturday night.

In fairness, Messi can embarrass any player with nutmeg. Even James Milner... But this really was something. Barcelona beat Real Madrid 3-2 in Miami, Florida, in what was the first El Clasico played outside Spain, and Messi treated the 66,000 fans in attendance to something special. In the build-up to opening the scoring after just three minutes, Messi left Ramos sprawled on the pitch with a deft nutmeg. The Madrid captain rushed in to intercept the ball, and in a flash Messi had knocked the ball between his legs and was darting away. And from another angle. The 30-year-old ended up scoring, via a deflection. https://twitter.com/FCBarcaVi/status/891487930233102336 Gerard Pique won the game for Barca in the second-half. Neymar also started the fixture, despite reports claiming he is on the verge of leaving Barca for Paris Saint-Germain. The French club are said to be preparing to trigger his release clause, worth almost £200m, and personal terms have already been agreed. Losing the Brazilian will undoubtedly be a big a loss to Barca, but as long as they have Messi, they should be ok.
