Lionel Messi has revealed his favorite goal, and it wasn't one of the hundreds he has scored with his legendary left foot.
It was a header — one that sealed Barcelona's 2009 Champions League final win over Manchester United.
The Inter Miami star, World Cup champion for Argentina and eight-time Ballon d'Or winner made the announcement on Thursday, saying that goal from 16 years ago stands above the many he has logged for club and country over his unparalleled career.
“I’ve scored many goals that might have been even more beautiful and valuable — also because of their importance — but the header in the Champions League final against Manchester United has always been my favorite,” Messi said.
