Barcelona 2016/17 Review: Goal of the Season

Was it Lionel Messi or someone else who scored the goal of the season?

Looking back on the 2016-17 season, we’ll remember some iconic moments and some iconic goals. Which was your favorite? For me, there are three options that stick out the most.

Top 3

Lionel Messi vs. Real Madrid (Away, La Liga)

Lionel Messi finished off a brilliant team goal in El Clasico after an end-to-end team move in added time. Gerard Pique and Sergio Busquets worked the ball out of their own corner, Sergi Roberto drove forward with purpose, Andre Gomes played on Jordi Alba, Alba cut it back to Messi and... bam. Goal. 3-2 and a memorable win.

Paco Alcacer vs. Deportivo Alaves (Copa del Rey Final)

Lionel Messi was the architect of yet another breathtaking Copa final goal. His dribbling and vision are simply head and shoulders above everyone else. Paco’s positioning and finish are not bad, either.

Sergi Roberto vs. Paris Saint-Germain (Champions League R16)

Don’t act like you don’t know. Only thing I’ll add is there is besides the dramatic circumstance, it’s a great goal. Neymar’s assist with his left is pinpoint, while Roberto’s delicate finish at full stretch is impeccable.

Honorable Mentions

Lionel Messi vs. Celta Vigo (Home, La Liga)

How he goes from his back to goal far away from the box, to scoring, is one of those magic tricks Messi always seems to pull off.

Luis Suarez vs. Atletico Madrid (Copa del Rey Semifinals)

Suarez picks the ball around midfield after a Javier Mascherano tackle. He skips past a player, then pokes the ball forward and blows past the last defender before slotting it home.

Neymar vs. Paris Saint-Germain (Champions League R16)

Certainly a more beautiful goal than Roberto’s, but that one edges this one out on being more iconic and important.

Luis Suarez and Jordi Alba vs. Espanyol (Home, La Liga)

Lionel Messi scored neither of these goals but he was the creator. Those dribbles to set them up were ridiculous.
