For me this will be the goal of the decade, at least. I have to disagree with the user who said that this might be the goal of the month, you practically see very nice long-range shot goals from time to time, but you rarely (and I mean very rarely) see a solo run like Messi's.

PURE MAGIC, nothing more...(Y)

yer with modern footballs anyone with a bit of luck can score a great long distance or volley goal. Only truly great players can score goals like Messi's.

I haven't seen another goal like that at this level of football in a long time...

I believe that most first-division teams in Europe could defeat the best of national teams.

Totally agree with any of these comments...

Plus, I'd prefer Messi's goal, to a 30 yard unstoppable screamer any day.

Whatta beauty of a goal... that one is not for the talented... is for the BLESSED!!! (H)

Wow, an orgasmic goal, nothing else to say about it...A magical run just like Diego's, and what is even more shocking is after he scores he falls to the ground just like Maradona did and runs just like him to celebrate to the right corner...For me this will be the goal of the decade, at least.

Messi's goal was way better than Giggs,

Zlatan goal with Ajax was also out of this world, between Messi and Zlatan i can't tell which one was better.
 

Help?

I favour Zlatan's more actually because he did it all barely moving. Its much harder to defend against players that are running full speed, rather than walking with the ball and even though Zlatan didn't run half the field, he used purely skill to get past players, unlike Messi who used speed as well. Nevertheless, like i said, this is the goal of the season.

True, but then you also have to factor in the ability to maintain control of the ball while moving at that pace....

Anyway, we could probably go on about this forever :D

Zlatan's goal was a thing of beauty, Messi's goal also. Some of us will like one, some the other, some both, some none. That's what makes football such a great game...

Man, the best goal ive ever seen in my life, it shows skills, strenght, inteligence, speed, this goal has everything, i really doubt any other player in the world could repeat this.

Sure ,i had seen a lot of beautiful goals but this was unique, it happens once every 20 years

Meh, I don't see anything all that special about that goal. He beat a couple guys at midfield, ran fast, beat a couple more guys, then the keeper and scored. Zlatan's is better. Thierry Henry's zig-zag against Liverpool is better. Hell, Clint Mathis beat like 7 guys once. It was better. It was a nice goal, maybe goal of the week material, but not much more.

i cant belive you are saying that, even football experts, stars, and former players, think this is one of the greatest goal in a lot of time

Speaking about great goals, can't believe nobody mentioned Matt le Tissier, he scored "goal of the season candidates" goals on a regular basis back in the 90's, one of his memorable one is when he ran and dribble from the half way line and then lob the goalkeeper from about 2/3 of the field. Everything was there, technique, speed, control, vision and brilliance.

Too bad he played with Southampton for the rest of his career, one of the greatest genius ever graced the field...

Yeh he was gold, although his goal was scored last century.

This goal is good but its goal of the century, i doubt it will even be goal of the year. If it wasnt scored by Messi, say Ronaldinho instead there wouldnt much fuss kicked up about it

I actually think the same. Somehow because it was Messi, its Maradona!

Remember Ruud also scored a similar goal vs Fulham (H)
