Opposition: Getafe
Date: 18 April 2007
Competition: Copa del Rey
Result: Barcelona 5-2 Getafe
This solo goal by Lionel Messi is probably the finest goals in the history of football. Just 19 years old at the time, Messi was already generating a lot of buzz and many were calling him the best young talent.
The comparison between Diego Maradona and Messi is common but this goal magnified that connection. In the 28th minute, Messi picked the ball in his own half and dribbled through the whole defence including the goalkeeper to score this goal.
