The Most Beautiful of the Beautiful Game

When I think of the most beautiful goals in the history of soccer, I can’t help but flash back to the Messi goal in the 2007 Getafe Cup. It was shocking, unbelievable, and unknown to me, very similar to a goal that had been scored by Maradona over 20 years ago.

It is scary not only how good these plays were, but how similar they were as well. Messi tells his supporters that the reason he is so talented at staying low to the ground and controlling the ball is because he was so small as a kid. I wonder if Maradona had the same predicament growing up?
