Two Argentine stars. Two absolutely mouth-watering goals. While Angel Di Maria found himself on the wrong side of a 5-3 scoreline as Manchester United capitulated against Leicester City in the Premier League, Lionel Messi’s Barcelona are still undefeated in La Liga.
But which goal was better?
Angel Di Maria goal vs Leicester
Di Maria scored the second goal to put the Red Devils up 2-0 with a goal that had fans gasp in awe. While making a run through the middle, he was fed by Wayne Rooney who slipped in a superb through ball right at Di Maria’s feet.
The Argentine winger then took one touch to control it, and with two defenders closing down on him, he chipped it over goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel who could only watch on helplessly as the ball soared above him and nestled in the back of the net.
Lionel Messi’s goal vs Levante
Messi’s goal was created out of pure luck but scored with pure class!
The Levante goalkeeper was initially trying to throw the ball to his teammate but got it horribly wrong and literally laid the ball at Messi’s feet. The Argentina forward was quick to react in a flash, controlled it, twisted and turned to outfox a defender and the goalkeeper, before chipping it over them and a second defender into the bottom left corner.
