    Lionel Messi’s top six GREATEST goals including stunning free-kick vs Liverpool and epic Bilbao solo effort

    Lionel Messi is the world’s greatest player, after being crowned the Ballon D’or winner for 2021.The shouts for him being the greatest of all time are growing louder, and it comes as no surprise that devising a top six out of 758 goals is tough.

    Messi’s time at Barcelona saw him play his part in some sensational team goals, with assistance coming from greats such as Ronaldinho, Luis Suarez, Neymar JR, Xavi, Iniesta and more.
    The greatest of all time has scored some wonderful goals in his time, most of them coming for Barcelona, as he has yet to really hit his stride at PSG under Mauricio Pochettino, despite scoring a glorious long range effort against Manchester City in the Champions League.
    We have narrowed down 17 years of greatness thus far into just SIX goals.
    Check out our six favourites below…

    6) Messi vs ARSENAL
    Barcelona 3-1 Arsenal – March 8, 2011

    Barcelona were losing two goals to one when they turned up for the second leg at the Camp Nou in 2011, but the mini magician had a trick up his sleeve with a delicate strike at home to forge a comeback for the Blaugrana.
    In typical Messi fashion, he picked up the ball inside the box after a defence splitting pass from fellow wizard, Andres Iniesta.
    From here the Argentine seemed to just slow down time, and use three touches to dismantle the gunners. One to control the ball, another to lift it over the keeper, and a final touch to smash it into the net for good measure. This was Lionel Messi at his finest, and further goals from him and Xavi ensured Arsenal were knocked out of the competition.
    This one just crept into our top six, which really is testament to just how good the rest of the goals in this list are.
    5) Messi vs LIVERPOOL

    It comes as no surprise that the Messiah has some wonderful set-piece goals in his locker, alongside all those team goals and solo efforts, but this free kick in particular was special.
    Another Champions league delight served up by the left peg of Lionel Andres Messi, the Barcelona star stepped up to the plate 35 yards out and delivered a first class strike into the top left corner against Allison – postage stamp stuff.
    Whilst it won Barcelona the game, as part of a 3-0 victory, it was Divock Origi who stole the headlines after a ‘Corner taken quickly…’ by Trent Alexander Arnold.
    Nonetheless, this is one of the finest free-kicks that the Champions League has ever seen, and therefore earns its spot in this list.
    4) Messi vs BETIS

    As Alan Smith once said “That’s why they call him fishy, because he loves the chips!”
    La Pulga picked up the ball on the left side of the box and played a neat one two with Sergio Busquets. Upon receiving the ball back, he takes a slight glance up and eloquently dinks the ball towards the Betis keeper.
    The keeper thinks it is going over, but Leo appears to bend it with his mind and move it to just hit the crossbar and cross the line, leaving Pau Lopez in goal in disbelief, as Messi wheeled off and his teammates stood with their hands on their heads.
    This is one of a host of Messi’s great chips, he really was the master of this technical skill that can often leave players looking so silly. We wonder if there will ever be another as good as him at it.
    3) Messi vs BAYERN
    Barcelona 3-0 Bayern Munich – May 6, 2015

    A picture speaks a thousand words with this one. A thousand words of the greatness of Lionel Messi.
    Our top three is where we are really witnessing iconic, astounding goals. Lets be honest, we all knew this was gonna be in the top three.
    For this edition of Lionel Messi: From Barca With Love, we saw him receive the ball on the right hand side from Croatian accomplice Ivan Rakitic.
    He baits in Jerome Boateng, and effectively forced him into an early retirement when he sits him on the ground and chips the ball over Manuel Neuer with ease. He really does make it look easy, but these Bayern defenders at the time were the best in the business.
    Bayern were no match that day for the greatest to ever do it, and this goal will go down in Champions League folklore.
    2) Messi vs ATHLETIC CLUB
    Athletic Club 1-3 Barcelona – May 30, 2015

    Athletic club will have been dreading facing Lionel Messi in 2015, which was probably his second best year after the record breaking year in 2012.
    And rightly so, the Barcelona star boy was red hot in the Copa Del Ray final of that year, as he absolutely destroyed them, with two goals in a 3-1 win.
    Messi receives a pass from Dani Alves near the intersection of the right hand side-line and the halfway line. He then faces up to the Athletic Club left winger, and beats him with ease, progressing down the right side at pace.
    He then stops. This is when the fun begins. It’s hammer time.
    He shifts left and beats the full back, before tapping it past the left winger again, and sends a central midfielder spiralling with his dazzling footwork. Another centre back to beat? No problem, mate. He sends the left centre back right, and goes left, before fizzing a shot in at the near post.
    Show this to your children, this is peak Lionel Messi, the GOAT.
    1) Messi vs GETAFE

    Here we are, Number One.
    Picture the scene. It’s 2007, the first iPhone has just been announced and Irreplaceable by Beyoncé is top of the charts – exactly what Leo was to Barca.
    In the Copa Del Ray semi final, Messi really lit up world football.
    This goal was voted Barcelona’s greatest goal of all time, and they are one of the greatest clubs of all time – so it really needs no introduction.
    If you ever need proof that you can in fact hear a picture, show the one above to a Barcelona fan and you will be met with ‘Ankara Messi, Ankara Messi, Ankara Messi.’ – the famous commentary that went alongside this masterpiece.
    Leo nutmegs two Getafe players before he even reaches the halfway line, and sets driving away with the raw pace and ability that has not been seen since in a 19 year old. He cuts left and leaves one defender looking like he is on a slip ‘n’ slide, before dipping right and sending another defender for a hot dog.
    He then breaks into the box and has the elite composure, that is rarely seen of a seasoned pro, to go around the goalkeeper and slot it over the top of yet ANOTHER sliding defender.
    This is football heritage. This is Lionel Messi.

    O Flower of Scotland,When will we seeYour like again,That fought and died for,Your wee bit Hill and Glen,And stood against him (against who?),Proud Edward’s Army,And sent him homeward,To think again.
    The Hills are bare now,And Autumn leaveslie thick and still,O’er land that is lost now,Which those so dearly held,That stood against him (against who?),Proud Edward’s Army,And sent him homeward,To think again.
    Those days are past now,And in the pastthey must remain,But we can still rise now,And be the nation again,That stood against him (against who?),Proud Edward’s Army,And sent him homeward,To think again. More

    How does the F1 safety car work?

    FORMULA ONE safety cars are a regular fixture on the Grand Prix scene.The sporty-looking motors are used in races and have flashing lights on the top in a bid to keep drivers out of danger if there are any crashes.

    Since they were first used in 1973, the safety cars have been a great way for manufacturers to get their fine motors on to TV screens.
    But they also play a key role in keeping drivers safe in a very dangerous sport.
    What is the F1 safety car?
    The safety car’s job is to limit the speed of cars on the race track so that workers can come out and pick up any debris or crashed cars.
    This means the cars can bunch up behind the safety car.
    Drivers are not allowed to overtake the safety car while it is on the track until indicated to do so.
    At which time the safety car steers off the track and the drivers can get back to racing.
    In the 2021 Formula One season, it has been used 14 times.
    But the safety car provided a controversial finish to the season after a crash allowed Max Verstappen to put on a new set of tyres with one lap of racing left and overtake Lewis Hamilton.
    Sometimes drivers hop into the safety car to catch a lift back to the pits if they crash their own car.

    Who is the greatest F1 driver of all time and who has won the most titles? Hamilton, Schumacher and Senna ranked

    FORMULA ONE is where legends are born, behind the wheel of the fastest cars on the planet.But who is the greatest with Lewis Hamilton level with Michael Schumacher on seven world titles, and trying to make it eight today.

    So where does SunSport’s Ben Hunt put the Mercedes man, alongside Ayrton Senna and seven-time champ Schumacher?
    Check out his full run-down of the top 10 below.10. Fernando Alonso
    World titles – 2
    The Spaniard is a remarkable driver, blessed with skill, pace and a cunning that means he should have more than the two F1 titles he owns.
    But for poor choice when it comes to making decisions about which teams to race for, he should have been rivalling Hamilton for titles.
    9. Sir Stirling Moss
    World titles – 0
    Without doubt the best driver never to win a Formula One world title.
    Fabulously charming and such a wonderful character.
    The Brit won 212 of the 529 races he entered.
    8. Alain Prost
    World titles – 4
    The Frenchman enjoyed a titanic battle with Senna for F1 supremacy.
    For what he lost out in natural ability compared to the Brazilian, he made up for it with ruthlessness and dedication.
    A smooth driver in the same mould as Stewart and Clark.
    7. Niki Lauda
    World titles – 3
    Tenacious competitor both on and off track.
    A true hero after coming back from suffering horrific burns in 1976 following a crash at the Nurburgring only to make an astonishing comeback just six weeks later.
    He won the F1 title the following season.

    6. Sir Jackie Stewart
    World titles – 3
    Won his three world titles during a dangerous period in Formula One’s history.
    Stewart saw countless competitors perish in the cockpit and set about making safety improvements.
    A wonderfully measured driver who was also calm behind the wheel.

    5. Juan Manuel Fangio
    World titles – 5
    One of the pioneers of Formula One, Fangio won an incredible five world titles when the sport was in its infancy.
    With safety at a minimum and reliability commonplace, the Argentine was a remarkably consistent performer.
    4. Jim Clark
    World titles – 2
    The greatest driver of his generation, Clark was a two-time world champion and won 25 times in 72 starts – more than any other driver at the time.
    His versatility also saw him win the Indy 500, the British Touring Car Championship, the Tasman Series in Australian and New Zealand.
    3. Michael Schumacher
    World titles – 7
    All-time record hold for most wins (91) and titles (seven), Schumacher’s record stands as the best in F1 history.
    His meticulous focus and attention to details helped make him a multiple world champion, even if his racing methods were called into question.
    Schumacher won seven championships during a glittering careerCredit: Reuters
    2. Ayrton Senna
    World titles – 3
    Supremely talented and wonderfully competitive.
    Senna’s raw talent over a single-lap made him a hero, as did his ability to win races in any conditions.
    Hugely passionate, he helped elevate the publicity of F1 to new levels.
    1. Lewis Hamilton
    World titles – 7
    Like Michael Schumacher and Aytron Senna before him, Hamilton has taken F1 to a new level when it comes to dominating races.
    Astonishingly consistent, brilliant over a qualifying lap and smart race-craft.
    Rarely makes a mistake. Always delivers.
