By 2015, we thought we had seen everything Lionel Messi could do. Nothing was left. He shouldn’t have been able to shock us anymore.

How foolish we were. And how foolish Jérôme Boateng was made to look.

The flick and change of direction at speed. Followed by chipping the world’s best goalkeeper.

With his weak foot.

One of Messi’s all-time great goals.

Elliott Bretland

The turn and trickery, how the through ball cuts the defence in half, the precision of the pass, the timing of the run, the deftness of the chip. Absolute perfection.

Kaká and Hernan Crespo pulled this goal off with exquisite ease. A classic..

Dan Burke

I don’t think I will ever forget Ronaldinho bagging one at Stamford Bridge in 2005.

He didn’t beat six men en route to goal and he didn’t welly it in from 40 yards either. He just placed it beautifully in the corner from outside the box as if it was the easiest thing in the world. Voila.

Matt Frohlich

In a world full of Zidane/Bale-esque goals in Champions League finals, there is only one Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Sure, this wonder strike may be against a poor Anderlecht side and sure it may have been the first of four from the goalscorer in this game, but scoring a goal like this at any level, against any opposition requires ability of the highest order.

What. A. Hit.

Ian McCourt

Well this one is an easy one to answer. It is the only goal that made me swear in front of my mum.

If you’re only going to score one Champions League goal in your entire career you might as well make it a good one.

A journeyman midfielder who trudged out for the likes of Foggia and Como, Mauro Bressan was remarkable for being so unremarkable and rarely started during his two-year stint at Fiorentina.

And then he did this in a 3-3 draw against Barcelona.
