The iconic goal, one of the rare times that Messi scored with a header, secured the treble for FC Barcelona, lifting both him and manager Pep Guardiola to legendary status in Catalonia.

Lionel Messi has revealed his favorite goal, and it wasn’t one of the hundreds he has scored with his legendary left foot.

When asked to name his favorite goal of his career, Leo Messi picked his iconic header in the 2009 UCL final against Manchester United. He chose this goal as part of a “A Goal in Life” charity campaign, where artist @refikanadol will transform the moment into a work of art ✨ pic.twitter.com/pYkH4X6yvT
