10) Barcelona Vs Real Madrid, 2008/09 (La Liga)

Lionel Messi scored two goals in the epic 6-2 victory over fierce rivals, Real Madrid, however, the second goal makes the list. Neither of the two goals were stunners, in fact, they were coolly placed in the net, without much effort. However, the weight of the second goal is what brings it to this list. The Catalans were the most dominant side in La Liga that season, and they ended the year with over 100 goals in total. However, an El Clasico is always a big occasion for all the players involved, and each of them wants to give their absolute best.

Thus, when Higuain opened the scoring for Los Blancos, the world went gray for the Catalans. However, Barca responded quickly with three goals in the first half itself. However, then Sergio Ramos found the second goal to make it 3-2 and the game was back on. Thiery Henry quickly restored their two goals lead with his second goal, and then Lionel Messi broke Madrid’s heart with the fifth goal of the game. The goal was beautifully set up by Xavi Hernandez, and with a little fake shot, Messi rooted Iker Casillas to his spot before he calmly found the bottom of the net.
