No Messi vs Getafe..... that goal (probably 9-10 years ago now) left me speechless when I saw it live. Gets the ball at the halfway line, takes on 4 defenders and the goalie, slots it in. Wonderful effort that.
You might be right about the McManaman goal?
Your post reminds me of the Ricky Villa goal, in the cup final. Listen to people talk about it and you'd think he took on five defenders, when it was more like three. Good goal, on a great occasion.
