Messi thanks Barça fans after Getafe goal voted best of all time

FC Barcelona ran an online poll for fans to vote on the club's greatest goal in history and Leo Messi's solo effort against Getafe in the 2006-07 season won by a comfortable margin.

The goal in a 5-2 victory emulated Diego Maradona's in the 1986 World Cup against England and was responsible for catapulting Messi to international fame. 

The Barcelona captain recorded a video to thank fans for "putting a little more of me in the history of the club."
