Lionel Messi names one Barcelona goal as favourite of his entire career | OneFootball

Barcelona legend Lionel Messi has this week provided an insight his personal favourite goal of his career.

And the Argentine’s pick may come as something of a surprise…

Veteran attacker Messi has of course been responsible for some of the most spectacular goals in modern history.

From solo specials to thunderous left-footed drives and sumptuous free-kicks, the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner’s efforts in front of goal will go down in football folklore.

Immediately springing to mind when thinking back to Messi’s very best goals are those against the likes of Bayern Munich, Athletic Club, and Getafe.

It is another, though, which the 37-year-old himself considers to be his personal favourite.

Speaking during an interview with Inter Miami, as part of the club’s ‘A Goal in Life’ campaign, this week, Messi was drawn on the topic of his best goals ever.

And the Barcelona icon went on to highlight his crucial Blaugrana header against Manchester United in the Champions League finale in 2009:

“I’ve scored many goals that might have been even more beautiful and valuable, also because of their importance, but the header in the Champions League final against Manchester United has always been my favourite.”
