From bamboozling defenders with mazy runs to ending Jerome Boateng's career: Lionel Messi's best goals ahead of his blockbuster move to Inter Miami
Messi was linked with a sensational return to former club Barcelona, as well as a big-money move to the Saudi Professional League, where he could've joined longtime rival Cristiano Ronaldo.
But his eventual decision to make the switch to Miami was widely communicated in June, as confirmed by Barcelona president Joan Laporta, who said he couldn't bring back the World Cup winner due to financial constraints.
That same month, Miami shared a video on their social media hinting at the club's signing of Messi, although it wasn't confirmed that one of the greatest players of all time had officially put pen to paper with the MLS side.
Messi's best goals throughout his career prior to his blockbuster move to the US.
1. Getafe – semifinal first leg of 2007 Copa Del Rey (5-2 win for Barca)
Considered by many as the best goal scored by Messi, he received the ball from within Barca's half, right before the halfway line on the right-hand side and dribbled past four Getafe players before he rounded the keeper to score in the 28th minute.
Messi was 19 years old at the time and went on to score a brace in that same game
Messi scored an incredible goal that involved beating four Getafe players to score in 2007
2..‘A mere supernatural goal from Messi,’ said Peter Drury during Barca's 2-0 win vs. Real Madrid
3 Messi celebrates after scoring Barcelona's opening goal during the Copa del Rey Final in 2015
4 Messi points to the sky after scoring an 18-yard chip goal against Real Betis in 2019
5 Messi shoots to score the second goal against Zaragoza during Barcelona's 4-2 away win
6 Messi, of Barcelona, watches as his free-kick scores to give Barcelona a 3-0 lead in the 82nd
7 Messi celebrates scoring the equalizer during LaLiga match involving Barcelona and Bilbao
8 Messi dribbled from almost the halfway line and past three Eibar defenders to score in 2017
9 Messi scored an audacious chip against the best goalkeeper at the time in Manuel Neuer in '15
10 Messi made Brazilian players dance, scoring off a solo effort in a 2012 friendly
