You know you’re extraordinary if you manage to impress prime Henry.
Leo Messi has scored plenty of tasty goals during his Barcelona career, so it’s normal that some of them eventually get forgotten.
However, there’s one that will be kept inside Thierry Henry’s memory forever – at least because the Frenchman was on the pitch when he witnessed it.
“The best goal I’ve seen him score was against Malaga at home because that defied logic what he did,” Henry said in the 2018 film ‘Take The Ball, Pass The Ball’.
“Diagonal ball, he controls it on his chest, runs full speed. First player goes, second player is just behind. He takes another step, that player can clear the ball.”

“If he’s got the ball on his left foot here, how do you go back with that same leg and touch the ball in the air, in between the two to make sure that guy doesn’t touch it – and then almost fail but smash it into the top corner. That’s not normal.”
Just imagine Messi’s greatness now: this goal wasn’t good enough to make our top 6 Messi goals that defied the laws of physics. Cheers to Thierry for reminding us of this masterpiece.
