Best football moment not involving city

Messi's goal against Real Madrid in the 2011 Champions League semi-final.

That game was billed as an El Clasico for the ages but it was awful. Mourinho-ball at its absolute worst. Then Messi picked the ball up on the halfway line and thought "Fuck this".

The rest is history.

David Platt v Belgium was decent.

been referenced loads but this is a remarkable 3 minutes of football - I like Troy Deeney too

was sat in a the German end when England beat them 5-1 and then about 30 of us preceded to do the conga down the terraces which didn’t go down well at all.

Just watching the pure class of the Dutch side of 74, Cruyff always been my hero with the likes of Neeskens and Johnny Rep, just pure football joy

Watching west Germany v Austria in world cup 82

The shame game. Made FIFA change the rules.

I don’t get sentimental about Soviet communism; far from it. But the USSR team from 1986 were out of this world. 4-2-4. Rats-Belanov-Zavarov-Yaremchuk. Valeriy Lobanowskiy.

Anything involving Messi tbh.

Cromwell Road (Swinton) Juniors beating the posh kids from Grosvenor Rd School 2-0 c.1959.

Only because there was no VAR.

Denis Bailey. Lovely bloke. Really decent person who was a very good player. Career probably didn’t pan out the way it should have but still did well.

Is he still the last player to score a hat Trick at old Trafford.
