Lionel Messi Scores a Maradona Goal

By: Bob | April 18th, 2007
   

Watching an Argentine weave past five defenders and a keeper seems familiar enough, doesn’t it? That is Barcelona’s Lionel Messi working the magic on Wednesday against Getafe in the Copa Del Ray. That is nothing short of brilliant. It reminds me of playing a video game where my team is on fast mode and the opponents are on quicksand mode. I imagine we will be seeing this goal replayed a lot in the future. It is wonderful to see a player as hyped and as talented as Messi reaching his potential.

    ya see i'm a die hard liverpool man, however i'm also a die hard fan of lionel. He is the best of all i think. and the most important things, he is pure natural talent, cool and clean from any scandals.

    i define him as " simply the best".

  • Peter
    that's absolutely incredible.
  • Nelson
    Wow...that looked almost identical to Maradona's goal...no wonder Diego tipped Messi to be his successor
  • frank
    And his second was an extremely well-taken goal into the top corner. Nobody's ever been able to take the ball off him, and this season he's really improved his finishing. If he can avoid getting killed by bigger defenders he'll be in the best player in the world discussion for the next decade.
  • And he's still only what, 12 years old?
  • Peter
    Amazing run. He is going to be fun to watch.
