Lionel Messi: Best moments at Barcelona

It has been announced that Lionel Messi's time at Barcelona is over. 

At 16 years, four months, and 23 days old, Messi made his first team debut when he came on in the 75th minute during a friendly against José Mourinho's Porto in November 2003. His career has been extraordinary. Let's take a look at some of his best moments.

Messi emulates fellow Diego Maradona with this amazing goal, ghosting through half of Getafe’s side while his teammates could only watch in awe. It was at this time when people started to talk about him being one of the world's best. How good is this goal? See Messi at his best by watching the video below. Some have argued that this is his best goal.

Messi hangs in the air to meet Xavi’s cross and send his header floating over Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar to seal Barcelona’s 2-0 victory in the 2009 Champions League final. An extraordinary season saw Messi and Barcelona win La Liga alongside Europe's premier competition.

Messi gets the ball just past the centre circle and with no other Barcelona player near him decides to take on Real Madrid’s defense all by himself. He dribbled past several defenders before beating Iker Casillas to cap a 2-0 victory and set Barca on their way to the 2011 Champions League final. They would ultimately go and triumph against Manchester United again after a memorable night at Wembley. There was another great goal from Messi in that final.

Messi humbled Bayern Munich with two goals in a 3-0 win in the Champions League semifinals. Messi chips his second goal over Manuel Neuer after he sends defender Jerome Boateng tumbling to the turf with a brutally quick change of direction. The season would ultimately end in more glory for Barcelona and the Argentinian.

Dimitar Berbatov - Tottenham to Manchester United in 2008 Earlier on this dramatic deadline day, it had appeared that Manchester City were going to shatter United's hopes after they had a bid of more than 20 million pounds accepted by Tottenham.
