2. Messi in the Bisht (2022)
Qatar dressed Messi in a traditional bisht before he lifted the World Cup. Some hated it — "they covered his Argentina shirt!" Others loved it — a cultural moment. Either way, the image is eternal.

4. Aguero's Celebration (2012)
Shirt off. Swinging it above his head. Mouth wide open. The moment Man City won their first Premier League title. Martin Tyler screaming in the background. Pure joy captured in one frame.
