UNSTOPPABLE Lionel Messi VIDEO!

The Spanish giants Barcelona have published a video on their official youtube channel as if they wanted to make another demonstration of Leo Messi’s dominance.

One of the best and greatest footballers today – and ever for that matter – is preparing for Thursday’s Copa del Rey quarter-final first leg against Real Sociedad at Anoeta and looks to be heading towards the game in great shape.

And we agree with Barcelona’s description of the video – Messi’s teammates suffer in training, but enjoy with him during games.

Take a look:

Juventus unveil new club crest VIDEO

It took an entire year for Juventus to create the new club logo, according to club president Andrea Agnelli, but not all fans are happy with the result.

Serie A champions Juventus officially unveiled their new club crest at the event in Milan last night, announcing that the new sign is “a symbol of the Juventus way of living”.

The launch of the new crest was supported by a promo video you can watch on Juventus’ official media channels and right here.

Any impressions to share?

Poor Paul Pogba ‘stars’ in a hilarious cartoon VIDEO

If you haven’t heard of 4-4-2oons just yet, now is the perfect time to introduce the lads who make brilliant spoof cartoon videos, mostly covering the Premier League action.

They have had their fair share of incredibly amusing videos thus far, but we must say that their POGBA-HA-HA-HA video is pure gold.

The French midfielder Paul Pogba had a torrid performance for Manchester United against Liverpool at the weekend, conceding a penalty and overall putting a woeful display unworthy of the world’s most expensive footballer.

So you might say he had it coming…

I'll stay at Barcelona as long as club want me

Lionel Messi has reiterated that he will stay at Barcelona, as long as the club wants him.

The Spanish champions recently agreed extensions with Luis Suarez and Neymar, but are yet to reach a deal with Messi, whose contract runs until 2018.

Barcelona's hopes of offering Lionel Messi an improved contract face a stumbling block because of spending caps imposed by La Liga, the club's CEO Oscar Grau said on Wednesday.

Luis Suarez and Neymar have each signed new deals until 2021 but Messi's contract runs out in 2018, giving Barca a window of 18 months to prevent him leaving the club for free.

The Argentina international earns a reported €22m (£19m) per year after tax, while Neymar and Suarez's salaries are believed to be €25m (£21.6m) after their latest contract renewals.
