In honor of the magical little Argentine’s 28th birthday, here are 28 of his greatest goals ever.
2015 UCL Semi-Finals (Vs. Bayern Munich).
Not only did Messi break Jerome Boateng's ankles and embarrass Manuel Neuer, he proved that he could beat the same men who handed him his only loss in the 2014 World Cup.
Vs. Athletic Bilbao (2013)
As Ray Hudson puts it: "THIS MAN IS ABSOLUTELY MAINLINE TO PURE FOOTBALLING MAGIC, THAT BELONGS IN A DIFFERENT GALAXY ALTOGETHER THAN WE ARE LIVING IN."
@magicomessi
Vs. Zaragoza (2010).
"He leads 1, leads 2, takes on 3, takes on 4, beats the goalkeeper! ....YOU'RE JUST LOST FOR WORDS!!!"
I mean, the dude didn't even dive while getting man handled by a ZAR defender.
