Despite the fact that he put on a show on Wednesday in the UEFA Champions League, the best soccer highlight in social media on Wednesday doesn't belong to Lionel Messi.
He got beat out by two South Carolina high school players.
Judge for yourself: There's a video making the rounds of a deftly performed double-bicycle-kick goal by the James Island Charter High School boys soccer team in South Carolina. Yes, high school.
In a 3-1 win over Ashely Ridge in the Class AAAA playoffs Tuesday night, senior Yasir Al-Kameshi crossed a ball into the box with a bicycle kick to senior William Le, who used the same move to blast it in the goal.
"The reaction was utter disbelief," James Island coach Todd Robinson told Charleston daily The Post and Courier. "The first bicycle kick is remarkable in itself, because it’s so athletic. And then when Le follows it up so cleanly, on a 1-2 play like that ... it was amazing."
