The Greatest Footballer of All Time, Messi’s most iconic goals

Barcelona v Valencia (2010)

Messi received the ball on his right foot, moved it to his left to  get away from the first defender, and a touch by a Valencia player  enabled him to deceive a second defender. Finally, he outwitted the  goalie by shooting the ball into the near post.

Argentina v Mexico (2007)

After being sent a pass that split Mexico's defence down the  right, Messi controlled the ball with the outside of his left foot, then  lofted a casual shot into the far corner.

Manchester United v Barcelona (2009)

In 2009, Messi achieved his first goal against an English team  when he scored in the Champions League final against Manchester United.

Real Betis v Barcelona (2019)

Players on both sides of the pitch were astonished when Messi scored an extraordinary goal against Real Betis in 2019.

Barcelona v Athletic Bilbao (2015)

Like he had complete control over it, Messi manoeuvred around  three opponents from Athletic Bilbao before entering the penalty box and  effortlessly scoring a goal.

Real Madrid v Barcelona (2011)

Messi's goal for Barcelona against Real Madrid in the Champions  League in 2011 is remembered as one of his most memorable moments.

Barcelona v Getafe (2007)
