"Che Guevara Head"
French "Team Newspaper": Messi is Barca's Che Guevara
The city of Rosario in eastern Argentina has produced two famous personalities: the leader of the Cuban Revolution, Che Guevara, and the world footballer Of the Year, Leo Messi. Regarding the cut, needless to say. His portraits have long since become a universal symbol of counterculture, a symbol of global popular culture, a hero of the Communist Revolution in the Third World and a symbol of left-wing movements in the West.
Looking at the history of football today, it mainly talks about Messi.
As one of the greatest footballers of the 21st century, Messi has won the Ballon d'Or 7 times, the European Golden Boot Award 6 times, the 91 goals in a single natural year are unprecedented, and a series of records such as World Cup runner-up and Olympic champion are even more telling.
Messi has had five GIFs in a row
At 03:00 a.m. on April 19, 2007 (21:00 local time on the 18th), the first leg of the semi-finals of the 2006-2007 Copa del Rey began, with Barcelona taking on Getafe at the Camp Nou.
In this campaign, the 19-year-old Messi perfectly reproduced the miracle of the "goal of the century" created by Maradona in the 1986 World Cup! In the 28th minute of the first half, Messi took the ball near the midline, then drifted 55 meters in 12 seconds, scored a world-pouring goal after passing 5 people in a row, and finally helped Barca win 5-2.
Messi's legendary career thus began, and this goal is also seen as the inheritance of Argentina's two generations of football kings.

Messi "Hand of God" moment
It also happened in the 2006-2007 season, the 37th round of La Liga on June 10 at 03:00 (21:00 local time on the 9th), barcelona drew 2-2 at home to Espanyol.
In this campaign, Messi, who is under 20 years old, hit the ball into the net with his hand in the 45th minute! The crowd in the penalty area was extremely stealthy, and the referee's position was far away, so the goal was judged to be valid. The route, the way they scored, and even the posture of jumping were almost identical, and Messi perfectly copied maradona's "hand of God" goal made at the 1986 World Cup.
At that time, everyone thought that Messi was Maradona.
Messi and Newell Old Boys
Although the two classic goals created by messi, who had long hair and fluttering at that time, could not make up for Barca's defeat in the 2006/07 season (reversed by Getafe 0-4 in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final, and the league and Real Madrid accumulated 76 points but lost the title due to the disadvantage of the confrontation record), these two goals still occupy a high place in Messi's career and the hearts of fans.
