Result: Barcelona 2-0 Real Madrid

"And here's Messi....away from one, two, three, four....wonderful, wonderful, wonderful... How good is he?! A mere supernatural goal from Lionel Messi! He has wriggled and tiptoed his way to the gates of Wembley Stadium. He is just brilliant. Best player in the world, bar none," the commentators were clearly amazed by the goal.

Apart from the sheer class of this goal, it might be one of the most important goals of Messi's career. Playing at Santiago Bernabeu, it was a tight semi-final game until the 88th minute when Messi scored this truly amazing goal.

Dribbling past five players, he sprinted into the Real Madrid penalty area and passed the ball into the net, past Iker Casillas, to double the lead for Barcelona. It was his second goal of the match.
