Lionel Messi picked his header against Manchester United in the 2009 Champions League final as the standout goal among more than 600 he has scored in his Barcelona career.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner described how the looping effort over Edwin van der Saar at Rome's Stadio Olimpico helped the Blaugrana "close the circle" as they clinched a
La Liga, Copa del Rey and Champions League treble for the first time.
Samuel Eto’o’s opener put Pep Guardiola's all-conquering side on their way that night, in a match Messi described as "spectacular" in a conversation with TyC Sports.
"My favourite goals are more than just attractive; they are important," the talismanic 32-year-old said.
"It was in the Champions League final and helped us to close the circle with Guardiola and win the treble, which we had never done.
"That goal rounded up a spectacular game." (Goal)
