These two goals defines him.
First goal is funny. I love how Busi just leaves the ball for the little boy, like he's saying: "here, play with it"...and he does. Through the whole defense and then just pushes the ball to the opposite post.
Second goal is his brilliant vision combined with great teamwork. Amazing goal.
Agreed. Hard to pick a favourite but those two are up there near the top.

Also loved his four against Arsenal. Not least because my Dad supports them
My dad is a life-long Man United supporter so you can imagine what those two CL finals were like in the house
Messi is not the reason I decided to support Barcelona it was Ronaldinho but after that era passed and Messi took over it was even more amazing than with Ronaldinho. He is currently getting use to a new system and I don't believe that Neymar was a great addition to a Messi based team with the rhythmic passing that benefits Messi. I see Barcelona in a better position for their future and currently sticking with Pedro having a known connection with Messi and Suarez who seems to have real potential to work well with Messi and score goals in the fashion that was hoped for Neymar.

LOL! I remember the Van de Vaart news. Thankfully, Rijkaard knew better.

Perhaps with Ten Cate as assistant, other than that no not really.

Rijkaard was one of our best coaches ever ,but tbh I don't like comebacks with coaches ,specially when the 1st spell ended badly

Just one more hate on messi article that shows just how far the state media is willing to take their ludicrus smearing campaign. Appearing on the editorial page mind you.
This article though, takes the cake in ridiculousness, written by Luis María Anson (who by the way just happens to be a season ticket holder at the Bernabeu stadium
), is full of facual errors and cherry picking to make Messi look worse than he really is. Let's break down the bullshit this article contain.
In the second paragraph he claims that Zarra who played in a league with 14 teams had a much higher goal to game ratio because he only had 26 games per season while Messi play in league with 38, completely missing the FACT that Messi reached Zarras goal count in almost the same amount of games played, Zarra in 278 games and Messi in 289 game played, the goal to game ratio difference is Zarra 0,906, Messi 0,875, a differance of 0.031 goals per game, that is one more goal per 33 league games played
In the third paragraph he claims wrongly that Zarra has the highest goal to game ratio in a season amongs all the players that have scored atleast 25 goals in la liga. Let's look at the reality, this list gives us all the players that have scored atleast 25 goals in one season, http://www.bdfutbol.com/en/c/rankingTempG1.html, here we find at nr 12 a guy by the name of Pruden, he scored 33 goals (the same as Zarra) in 22 games, 1 game less than Zarra, so obviously he had a higher goal to game ratio, 1,5 vs Zarras 1,435. A bit further down we find another guy by the name of Langara who scored 26 goals in 18 games (1,444 goals per game), also that higher than Zarra, even further down we find a guy by the name of Bata who scored 27 goals in 17 games (1,588), but the most obvious one is of cause the 2012-13 season of a guy by the name if LIONEL MESSI who scored 46 goals in 32 games (1,4375) which is more than Zarras 1,4347 (33 goals in 23 games). The reality is that Zarra is the 5th player on the list behind Bata, Pruden, Langara and Messi. The fact that he goes on and cherry picks his stats which he can´t even get right (all the goal to game ratios are wrong) just to be able to say that Cristiano Ronaldo's 1,21 g/g ratio in 2011-12 (he claims 1,24) is just as good as Messi's, obviating the fact that he just cherry picked Ronaldos best season against Messi second best which he of cause get totally wrong, he claim 1,25 when in reality Messi scored 50 goals in 37 games (1,35).
In the fourth paragraph he claims that Iker Casillas is the most decorated Spanish footballer, again obviating Xavi who has won more trophies. Casillas has 17 trophies with Real Madrid, Xavi has 22 with FC Barcelona. Both has 3 trophies with the NT.
At the bottom is says, he is a member of Royal Academy of Spain, yea, right, Royal Academy of Bullshit, that is what you are a member of, maybe you recognize this guy
he is another one of your members

Abbiati didn't even know about the shot before it went into the net. The Milan goal was pure class
