18th of April in History.
1. Lionel Messi scored a Solo Goal.
18 April 2007 was the date when FC Barcelona played Getafe in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals. In the 28th minute Messi left the crowd speechless with a goal reminiscent of his compatriot Diego Armando Maradona.
The Argentinian controlled a pass from Xavi Hernández on the right-hand side of his half and he went past Paredes and then nutmegged Nacho. Then he dribbled past Nacho again before leaving Alexis and Belenguer for dead as well. Once he was in the opposition’s box he is confronted by Luis Garcia rushing out but the Argentinian goes past him as well and rolls the ball into the net.
