We've seen videos compiling the futile efforts to take down Leo Messi like this before. Well, Shakhtar Donetsk are the latest bunch to try everything short of taking a chainsaw to him and only getting left in his wake for their efforts.
After watching this clip, I've decided that trying to tackle Messi is like trying to tackle a ghost. The outstretched legs of Shakhtar players trying to put him on his face just seem to go right through him as he continues on toward the goal.
This is why we need Barcelona to play against Man City (or Argentina to play against the Netherlands). The battle between Messi and Nigel De Jong's tackles of doom would be worthy of having an opera written about it.
