#10 A classic goal in El Clasico - 2011
This was the period when the Clasicos were played quite frequently. The tempers used to run very high during these ties. The matches were so ill-tempered that even the personnel on the sidelines found it hard to keep their emotions in check.
Amongst all those Clasico’s there is a once in a century goal scored by the Cules’ icon on the enemy territory. Well, Messi is no stranger to scoring in El Clasico but the manner in which he scored his second goal in the first leg of Champions League semifinals in Santiago Bernabeu, was breathtaking!

A unchaperoned run by the little man right through the heart of Real Madrid midfield and defense before slotting the ball home past Iker Casillas! This is widely considered the ‘best goal in the history UEFA Champions League.’
A shade of his compatriot Diego Maradona was visible in a startling manner. It is the best goal by the great Lionel Messi in his Champions League career till date, in my opinion. Period.
