9. Messi's 500th Barcelona goal comes in El Clasico

Real Madrid 2-3 Barcelona - 23 April 2017

Sometimes a goal almost seems too perfect - and this was one of those. Messi popped up with an injury-time goal against Real in 2017, sweeping home a first-time shot from the edge of the area. It was an El Clasico winner, his 500th Barcelona goal and it sent Barca top of the table (although Real would go on to win the league).

For good measure, he pulled out an iconic celebration when he took off his shirt and held it out so the Bernabeu faithful could see his name.
This was the best. He silienced and made madrididiots cry extensively in front of over 90000 people on their home ground. cheesy

2. Messi's greatest goal?

Barcelona 5-2 Getafe, 18 April 2007

Messi's goal in the Copa del Rey semi-final first leg 13 years ago remains arguably his greatest strike.

In a goal with remarkable similarities to Diego Maradona's (non-handball) strike against England in the 1986 World Cup, Messi picked the ball up in his own half, beat about five defenders, went round the goalkeeper and then slotted home.

"But it was a strange decision, with many observers thinking he had underwhelmed in the knockout rounds, having scored four goals in the group stages. He was disappointing too in the final defeat by .

Even then-Fifa president Sepp Blatter said he was "a little bit surprised" and Argentina legend Diego Maradona called the decision "unfair".

That final defeat in Brazil may be the closest he ever comes to winning the World Cup as they went out in the quarter-finals four years later in Russia, despite his memorable goal against Nigeria"

He won it.

He has the Trophy in his cabinet.

Someone said if Messi had taken all the PK he left for his teammates, and all assists he chose to make instead of selfishly going for goals... that he would be the highest scorer in champions league history!

The humble GOAT!

5. Messi breaks Barcelona scoring record

Barcelona 5-3 Granada, 20 March 2012

Messi broke Barcelona's goalscoring record at the age of 24 - the only way he knows how, with a hat-trick.

He equalled Cesar Rodriguez's record of 232 goals with his first against Granada, broke it with his second and extended the record with the third.

Messi, now 32, is on 627 Barcelona goals and counting (when La Liga restarts) - almost 400 clear of anybody else.
This record is likely to stand for life.

A perfect goodbye to LUIS ENRIQUE.

The 2017 el clasico goal is da BOMB. In their backyard. I love d celebration.



The one against getafe is so romantic ,... The accelaration , lethal feints , dribbling in motion...the defenders falling on the pitch left &
right like the omoniles who went to play football @Agege stadium after smoking expired Kwale weed.... he then rounded up the keeper & sent him to prison camp in eastern Siberia.

Even Ronaldo once said, I think 2018 and I quote

"I thank the god of soccer, Messi and the God of my god of soccer, Jesus... If not for the creator and the wonderful creature, Messi, I would still be serving coffee in a bar now.. I didn't go to school coz I am a drop out and no good job will come my way except coffee shop.. Thank God Messi existed, his existence brought me to life. Thank you messi", Says Ronaldo.

Breaking: Atlast, Ighalo strikes fresh deal with Manchester Utd
Odion Ighalo has “agreed” a loan extension with Manchester United until the end of January.
The agreement with his parent club Shanghai Shenhua officially expired on Sunday night, and it appeared as though United had failed in a bid to keep the striker at the club.
But according to The Telegraph, both sides have now come to an agreement for the 30-year-old to stay in Manchester until the new year.
The deal is said to be awaiting confirmation by the FA before it is ed.
It is claimed Ighalo will then discuss a new contract with Shanghai Shenhua once he returns in 2021.
The news comes after his agent Atta Aneke confirmed talks were in place for the ex-Watford man to remain at Old Trafford.
Aneke told Nettavisen: “We are nearing an agreement with Manchester United on an extended loan.
“The agreement will mean that Ighalo will remain with them until January 2021.”

Ronaldo is also a legend and deserves an accolade....they are both great but I ave to be sincere messi is still some level higher considering his talent....I don't argue about who is better cos I knw dey are two diff pple but anytime i see someone saying Ronaldo is better than messi "based on football playing ability" I just keep quiet and move on from such person cos that means you are either been bias or you knw nothing about football....how will just a player lead in every stat in europe like he did last season...that's crazy....u can't be ab unbias good football lover and say such....messi is diff ...no one can match him...I doubt even if Pele was this good.....his a football wizard!!!
