01. Messi Goal vs. Getafe 2006/07

This goal is nothing less than referred to as one of the greatest solo goals in football history.

In a match against Getafe, Lionel Messi scored a memorable goal in the 2006/2007 Copa del Rey semifinal. Messi picked up the ball near the halfway line and embarked on a mesmerizing solo run, dribbling past several Getafe players and showcasing his incredible balance, speed, and close ball control.

Messi evaded challenges and weaved his way through the defense, reminiscent of his fellow Argentine Diego Maradona’s famous “Hand of God” goal in the 1986 World Cup. Ultimately, Messi reached the box, rounded the goalkeeper, and slotted the ball into the net to complete a stunning solo effort. 

The goal drew comparisons to Maradona’s legendary goal, highlighting Messi’s extraordinary skill and ability to navigate through defenses with ease.
