Messi Reveals Favourite Barcelona Goals

By Max Wise

Barcelona skipper Lionel Messi has revealed some of his favourite goals for the club and said he will never forget his first ever goal for the Spanish giants though it is special scoring against Real Madrid.

Messi has scored 586 times for the Catalan giants and 65 goals for Argentina and recently became the first player to score 400 goals in the history of Spanish La Liga.

This feat makes the Argentina national team captain and football’s living legend the second ever player to hit the 400-goal milestone in Europe's top five leagues after Juventus’ Cristiano Ronaldo.

The difference between the two players, however, is that it took Lionel Messi 63 games to score his 400th goal which is a run of fewer games as compared to Ronaldo's.

The Barcelona ace has told Mundo Deportivo his favourite goal so far in his career was his maiden strike in the Barcelona shirt.

"The first against Albacete from Ronnie's [Ronaldinho] pass I will never forget," said the 33-year-old player.

"The goals of the Clasicos are always special and against hard opponents that are usually up like Atlético, Valencia, Sevilla..."

"Those that I have had the luck to score against our fans here in the Camp Nou they are always nice, and they are also special that I scored as a visitor because of the difficulty of playing away."

The Argentine talisman further said that the most attractive goals don't necessarily have to be the most important goals, adding that those which serve a team purpose are far more important. 

"In the end, the most important goals are not the most spectacular, but those that serve us as a team to win."
