Lionel Messi goal vs Real Madrid most viewed of all-time as Ronaldo and Bale make top 15


Lionel Messi has built his reputation on an insatiable appetite for goals, with the Barcelona star bagging over 700 senior strikes for club and country. A huge number have been suitably spectacular, with fans around the world able to recall a host of times the Argentine has left opponents stunned with his skills.

In particular, supporters have sought out Messi’s outrageous winner against Real Madrid in 2017 with the video of the last-minute winner clocking up millions of views.

The latest research from Ticketgum.com has identified this strike – a whipped left-footed effort at the Bernabeu – as the most watched goal on YouTube.

The study estimates that the clip has received 39,473,909 views and has generated an estimated £56,593 in earnings (based on the YouTube Earnings Calculator).

The goal itself is not Messi’s most jaw-dropping, but the scenario elevates its importance with Barcelona beating a cynical Real outfit 3-2 on their turf.
