WATCH AND VOTE: Which Barcelona golazo was the best?

Tough call

Darragh Murphy

You know the quality of goals was high when we’re completely ignoring the fact that Lionel Messi scored a hat-trick.

Messi’s three, as good as they were, were no match for the others that added up to the 7-0 final score that the Catalan giants fired past a shell-shocked Celtic.

You had a variety of golazos from three of the greatest footballers ever to play alongside Messi as Neymar, Andres Iniesta and Luis Suarez rounded off an absolute thumping on Tuesday night.

After the half-time break, Messi allowed his Brazilian buddy take a free kick from the edge of the area and Neymar made it look easy as he curled the ball beyond the outstretched hand of Dorus De Vries.

Andres Iniesta wasn’t the shabbiest substitute that Luis Enrique could call upon and the veteran midfielder didn’t need too much time to get his name on the scoresheet when he sumptuously volleyed home an inch perfect cross.

It wasn’t until the 75th minute that Suarez got in on the act but it was worth the wait as the former Liverpool striker made a genius run, controlled the ball on his chest and hammered it home on the turn.

But our question is… which golazo was best?
