It's Been 10 Years Since Messi Scored That Unreal Goal V Real Madrid

A few in particular may be remembered slightly more than the rest though, and one of those is certainly his incredible solo effort in 2011.

At what was possibly the peak of El Clasico, when Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola were going head-to-head for pretty much every competition available, Messi set alight a tight match between the pair in the Champions League semi-final first leg.

Pepe, in classic fashion, had managed to get himself sent off after just over an hour, and Mourinho quickly followed him, also in classic fashion, for protesting that decision.

That transformed what had been a close match until that point, with Messi netting from a Ibrahim Affelay (remember him?) cross in the 76th minute to put Barcelona ahead.

However, it was what happened abour ten minutes later that really shocked the Bernabeu.

Sergio Busquets casually rolled the ball to Messi with the entire Real Madrid defence in front of him - which would turn out to be an excellent move and frankly incredible assist.

Then, cue Messi taking it past three players before rolling it past Iker Casillas as Sergio Ramos desperately chased after him.

This second away goal put Barcelona well in control of the tie, and a 1-1 draw at the Nou Camp a week later put them through to the final at Wembley - where they took apart Manchester United.

Is this one of Messi's best ever goals?
