The greatest (soccer) goal ever - replayed

This happened last week, but this is an amazing goal. Argentina starlet Leo Messi scored a wonderful goal for Barcelona against Getafe in a Spanish King's Cup match.

Anyone remotely familiar with football will get a sense of deja-vu: the goal is eerily similar to the great goal Diego Maradona scored against England in the quarter-final of World Cup '86.

Edit: Combined links to show only one with both goals in them

Man, commentators speaking Spanish always seem to get too emotional. Pity that Maradona's goal against England will always be overshadowed by the other one he scored in the match.

Kheegster, you traitor, you used to be a UK'er. it's FOOTBALL!

It's strange really, the actual goals arn't really that amazing. You see more jammy luck shots from the guys in the Sunday league than you do in the Premier League these days.
