Whether it was for FC Barcelona, the Argentina National Team, Inter Miami CF or even Paris Saint-Germain, Lionel Messi has produced more highlight goals for each team than most players score in a career.
In fact, he scored so many that in 2020, Budweiser sent beers to all 160 goalkeepers Messi had stuck a shot past. The point is, there are a lot of good goals to choose from when the question arises: “What is the best goal Lionel Messi ever scored?“
The best goal of Messi’s career
When asked that very question, former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry did not hesitate. The Frenchman, who also played with Messi at Barcelona, immediately recalled Messi’s sensational solo goal against Malaga in 2009.
“That defied logic, what he did,” said Henry. “You start the ball on your left foot here. How do you go back with that same leg, touch the ball in the air, in between the two (defenders) so make sure that guy doesn’t touch it? He almost fell, and he smashed it into the top corner. That’s not normal.”
Messi also scores golazos in training
Henry has quite a collection of goals himself, so when he says something is not normal, it must be really special.
