FC Barcelona: Blaugrana's 13 Most Beautiful Golazos Since 2000 (video)

This one's simple: The 13 most beautiful golazos scored by Barcelona since 2000.

This might shock you, but more than half of these goals were scored by Lionel Messi.

Ok, so that doesn't shock you at all. Messi is a transcendent talent who has a knack for scoring beautiful goals.

But, he's not the only player in Barcelona history that fits that description…

13. Dani Alves' Lob

Hey, genius can be accidental. Don’t you know how chocolate chip cookies came about?

Dani Alves’ face after this goal says it all: He didn’t mean to do it.

But it’s still genius

12. Iniesta Breaks Chelsea's Hearts

Chelsea were about to eliminate Barca from the Champions League in 2009. But, Andres Iniesta scored this beautiful goal deep into stoppage time to keep Barca alive.

It was pretty, too.

11. Messi's Flick Against Arsenal

This took more skill than you might think.

10. David Villa Hits the Top Corner

And unlike Dani Alves, he definitely, positively meant to do it.

Tasty.

9. Messi Completes His Hat Trick Against Tenerife

The third goal of Messi's hat trick against Tenerife was the choice of the bunch.

The hat trick, by the way, came in a 5-0 thrashing.

8. Ronaldinho's Toe-Poke

(Fast forward to the 4:00 mark.)

In youth soccer, they taught us not to kick the ball with the tip our toes.

Ronaldinho didn't listen.

Toe-ball!

7. Messi's Missile in Copenhagen

With Messi, we usually think about mazy runs, skillful dribbling and low finishes.

This goal wasn't like that at all.

6. Rivaldo's Overhead Kick

This one came around 2000 (not sure of the year, but it had to be in 2000 or 2001 because Manu Petit is wearing a Barca shirt) against Valencia.

It's not the last overhead kick we'll see…

5. Ronaldinho's Overhead Kick

If at first you don't succeed…

…do something ridiculously brilliant.

4. Messi vs. Racing Santander

Perhaps the biggest compliment one can pay Messi is that none of his goals look difficult.

They are extraordinarily difficult, though.

3. Messi Stuns Real

This one came in the Champions League this past April.

Madrid's defenders still don't know what happened.

2. Messi Schools Zaragoza

Messi wins the ball.

Messi breaks a few ankles.

Messi scores.

Yawn.

1. The New Goal of the Century

Nearly a carbon copy of Maradona’s goal of the century, down to the direction both men run on camera, this one is only fractionally less brilliant.
