Messi scored the goal of the year on wednesday night for Barcelona. This goal was immediately compared with Maradona's infamous solo run against England in the 1986 World Cup in Mexico City. Check out Messi's great goal first....then compare

Messi tearing them apart

Maradona's beauty

Maradona's goal has been called the greatest of all time. Where does Messi's goal rank?

I tried to post a link to this goal on Friday and couldn't get it to work. Absolutely amazing goal and the first thing I thought of was meradona's goal after I saw the highlight.

mEssi is a superb player. At 19 years old, he is still 3 years younger than Ronaldo and will be the world´s best player in a couple of years. Thank heaven he is plays for Barcelona....

I was shocked when I heard that he was only 19 :o
