Many times before, Barca youngster Lionel Messi has been branded the "new Maradona" but since yesterday night we know that there is some similarity.


It was brilliant Leo Messi´s second goal in the 5-2 win over Getafe at Camp Nou that stunned the supporters in the stadium and millions in front of the television with a goal that is difficult to be bettered all season.


Messi received the ball inside his own half before dribbling past 5 Getafe players before then rounding Getafe´s goalkeeper to finish before another defender did have a chance to clear the ball off the line.


As far as I remember only the Master himself, Diego Armando Maradona scored a similar goal against England in the World Cup of 1986 when he started his magical run from his own half to dribble past nearly the entire England team to round the goalkeeper to score this amazing goal.


His first goal in this game was the famous and controversial "Hand of God" Goal but his stunning second one, was worth to forgive him.


I will try to get the video of the goal and will post it later.
