Top 10 Lionel Messi Goals at Barcelona (Spanish Edition)

Goal @ 24:15

4) Barcelona Vs Athletic Bilbao, 2015 (Copa Del Rey)

Lionel Messi’s goal in the 2015 Copa del Rey final against Athletic Bilbao was a fantastic goal both in value to the game, as well as entertainment to the eyes. It was the first goal of the night that gave the Catalans the much-needed boost to go and win the game; however, it was also one of the finest solo goals Messi has ever scored. He picked up the ball from the halfway line, and was on the right side of the pitch. He stalled for a bit before making his next move, and by that time three defenders had already closed down on him. What he did next defied all logic.

Instead of passing the ball backwards or towards the middle, he decided to take on all three of the defenders. He carried the ball forward, nutmegged one of them, got away from the other two, feinted past a fourth defender inside the box and then finally put the ball at the back of the net. It was pure magic from the world’s best player, and one of the best domestic goals he has ever scored.
