WHAT MESSI SAID
He told ESPN: "I had many goals that are perhaps even more beautiful and of enormous value, also because of their importance, but the header in the Champions League final against Manchester United was always my favorite."

WHAT NEXT?
Messi is likely to score many more goals during the rest of his time with Inter Miami, perhaps starting with an away clash against Philadelphia Union this weekend.
