You can learn it by studying youtubes of great finishers, really studying their technique, how they create the half yard of space to finish, their movement, what they see to arrive where they do when they do to learn better anticipation of where and when to arrive and the picture they see
One touch out of feet to finish is an essential skill to develop because you must first develop this before you can even begin developing the greatest of all Messi's skills, the art of disguise, that first touch consistently putting the ball in a position in which you are able to strike it and finish it a few different ways and in the motion of striking it refine your technique so you are able to give the appearance of attempting one type of finish only to apply another with a last split second slight change
