Messi Says His Best Goal Ever Is the Header He Scored Against Man U in 2009
Lionel Messi has revealed the goal he holds dearest out of the hundreds he’s scored in his legendary career. The Inter Miami forward, now 38, picked his header against Manchester United in the 2009 UEFA Champions League final as his personal favorite.
Messi, who has found the net over 800 times while playing for Argentina, Barcelona, PSG, and now Inter Miami, said that despite scoring more beautiful and important goals, the one in Rome stands out for him. “That header in the Champions League final has always been my favorite,” he said.
The goal, which came as Barcelona’s second in their 2-0 win over United, saw a much shorter Messi rise above Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic to beat goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar. The moment not only sealed a memorable win for Barça but also helped Messi secure his first Champions League trophy with the Spanish giants. It’s now considered one of the most unforgettable goals in the tournament’s history.
Former footballer Zlatan Ibrahimovic speaks on the World Cup and shares his thoughts on who could possibly win the FIFA World Cup 2026.
He spoke about the players who are performing really well and carrying their teams.
“Harry Kane, he did three things. Two goals and one run he did. We talk about Messi for Argentina, France with Mbappe, but they have other superstars also. Sir Harry Kane is England, and the way he performed today, he needs to continue like that if this England is going to have a chance.”
Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi speaks on the Netherlands’ elimination from the World Cup.
The coach explained why the team was eliminated. “Morocco has gained everybody’s respect now,” Ouahbi said, adding: “It’s not because of what we’ve said. We’ve now shown it.
“We completely dominated a Netherlands team. We had 70% possession, more shots and more expected goals. We controlled the match. We wanted to stay calm, play our game and believe that if it went to penalties, we had an exceptional goalkeeper. We didn’t turn the match into a chaotic battle. We controlled it.”
Nigerian footballer and former captain William Troost-Ekong revealed the standout player for him in the South African team during this World Cup.
He shared that Mbekezile Mbokazi really stood out in the World Cup match against Canada.
Despite their loss, he praised the team’s performance. “It speaks volumes that Mbokazi [Mbekezile] was the best player on the South African team. I believe Okon also had considerable possession of the ball.”
