If you haven’t been living under a rock, you probably watched Lionel Messi and Dani Alves playing keepy-uppy before Barcelona’s Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain at Parc de Princes by now.

Proving that they also possess world class abilities - after all, Ajax did play in the Champions League this season - starlets Christian Eriksen and Siem de Jong showed off their keepy-uppy skills during a club training session midweek. Even more impressive, forward Kolbeinn Sigþórsson got into the mix and added a “special ingredient” to the long range session.

Talk about some serious skills, let’s hope that this trend continues unlike others, errr, Gangnam Style, errr, the Harlem Shake.

Why has Barcelona been so good? A lot of it has to do with its soccer academy, La Masia. The school has elevated notable talents into the senior side for a while now (Messi, Iniesta, Xavi, Fabregas, Pique all went there just to name a few) and it looks like the current youth teams are full of promise as usual!

It took literally just 5 seconds for this little Barca munchkin to score in a recent Under-9 game!!

See ya in 10 years, kid!

Soccer trickster extraordinaire Lassi Hurskainen is at it again!

The 25 year old goalkeeper’s wild — and nearly unbelievable — skills have frequently had fans and players alike questioning their authenticity. And from watching his videos, it’s easy to see why. The tricks Lassi pulls off are seemingly too good to be true.

Well, Lassi has challenged the critics who say his tricks are fake in his latest video. Seems pretty convincing, doesn’t it? We’re still not sure if it’s pure skill or many, many takes to get the shot just right — but either way, consider us impressed!
