This Tuesday, amid rumors about his future in professional football, it was eight years since one of the best goals in Lionel Messi’s career, in the Copa del Rey final against Athletic Bilbao on May 30, 2015.
On that occasion, just before the quarter hour mark, Messi took the ball from almost midfield on the right wing and what seemed like the start of a routine play ended up becoming a real soccer recital.
With the ball glued to his foot, Messi was able to get away from up to five opponents with the ball always glued to his foot, to later dribble inside and score one of the best goals in his career.
In fact, the goal was so impressive that according to the Spanish channel SPORT it was chosen as the best in the recent history of the last 20 years of FC Barcelona, renewing the goal that Ronaldo Nazario scored against Compostela also in the Copa del Rey.
In addition, the score, which opened the scoring and led to a 3-1 victory, sealed the first of the three titles won by FC Barcelona that year, also clinching the Spanish La Liga and the UEFA Champions League.
