8. Messi vs Real Zaragoza
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HqjbTTFr3Y The first Messi entry on this list is such a typical Messi goal. It came in 2010, at a time when he was beginning to look far and away the best player on the planet. Barcelona were unstoppable at this point too, and their key man was producing magic in virtually every game. Having showed his hugely underrated strength in the middle of the park, holding off the challenge of a Real Zaragoza midfielder, he then ran at the defence, weaving past three separate challenges before firing a lethal effort into the bottom corner. It inspired Pep Guardiola's side to a 4-2 away victory, and Messi scored a hat-trick on the night.
